# Modern Multi-Tiered Tables The Cuts Table Features Four Tabletops of Varying Heights By Michael Hines | Published 2013-02-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuts-table References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/02/22/cuts-table-by-philippe-nigro-for-ligne-roset/) & [philippenigro](http://www.philippenigro.com/) This [unique piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table) is Philippe Nigro's Cuts Table. Instead of having a flat top, the Cuts Table has four different flat areas that vary in height. In the middle of the table is a cross pattern designed to hold books, magazines and whatever else you choose to put in its cracks. The Cuts Table doesn't follow tradition (table tradition, that is), and that's okay. Modern families don't necessarily gather around [the dinner table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renorm-table) every night to eat, so a table with a top that varies in size isn't the worst thing in the world. Also, the slits cut into the Cuts Table seem to be the perfect size for holding [smartphones, tablets and other electronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-tiered Furniture:** Design and create multi-tiered furniture pieces that cater to modern family needs and the use of technology. - **Adaptive Table Design:** Explore new table design options that break from traditional flat top tables and that instead offer better functionality and versatility. - **Smart Furniture:** Create furniture that caters to the needs of modern customers who frequently use electronic devices while still offering a stylish and functional design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers and manufacturers can create unique multi-tiered tables that cater to modern family lifestyle and technology usage. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate multi-tiered tables, adaptable designs, and smart furniture into their projects to match modern home design. - **Consumer Electronics:** Electronic device manufacturers can work with furniture designers to create tables that cater to the needs of device users and offer an elevated consumer experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md) - [Triple-Tabletop Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-coffee-table.md) - [Elegant Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-table.md) - [Puzzling Removable Tray Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-puzzle-table.md) - [Bookshelf-Incorporated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overlap-table.md) - [Metal Sheet Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-side-table.md) - [Industrial Shapeshifting Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jointable.md) - [Modern Customizable Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-design.md)
