The Dedalo Table is made up of two identical trapezoidal shapes that have been intersected, rotated and flipped between them to create a sturdy support that is equally stylish. A [dynamic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table) to say the least, it is one way sto introduce a [modern geometric touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trama-collection) in the home. Created by Italian design studio Gradosei for Formabilio, the Dedalo Table is entirely made out of wood. With its white base and natural tabletop, it has a country-esque feel that many will appreciate. Yet this homey ambiance doesn't mean it wouldn't fit perfectly into a [contemporary living space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-table-designs). Overall, the Dedalo Table is elegant enough to suit a variety of existing decor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 64% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geometric Furniture:** There is an opportunity to create new furniture pieces by incorporating unique geometric shapes and designs in a minimalist and contemporary way. - **Mixed-material Furniture:** Combining different materials for furniture, such as wood and metal, can create eye-catching designs that appeal to a range of styles and tastes. - **Versatile Furniture:** Creating furniture pieces that can fit seamlessly into a variety of home styles and decors provides opportunities for broad market appeal and versatility in design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers and manufacturers can create unique pieces using unconventional shapes, materials, and designs to showcase their creativity. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate geometric furniture in their designs to add a modern and eye-catching element to their clients' homes. - **Home Decor Retail:** Retailers can expand their offerings with versatile furniture pieces that can appeal to a wide range of customers and home styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Modern Customizable Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-design.md) - [Wooden Table-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidone.md) - [Geometric Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table.md) - [Geometric Table Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md)
