Powered by a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunderstick-grs-buildacade), the table is the design work of Charlie Turner and can be created using just a handful of components. The table consists of a standard IKEA coffee table being hollowed out and fitted with a series of different colored LEDs. From here, the LEDs are connected to a music source and will respond accordingly to create an enhanced sense of interaction with ease. The DIY project requires a skillful hand and the use of an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, table and a series of tools for implementing the various components. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **DIY Music Visualizers:** Creating DIY music visualizers using everyday furniture and tools opens up opportunities for interactive and customizable music experiences. - **Raspberry Pi Integration:** Utilizing Raspberry Pi technology to power DIY projects such as music visualizers creates room for innovation in the tech industry. - **Repurposing Household Items:** Repurposing household items such as IKEA coffee tables shows how everyday items can be used to create innovative and functional pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can explore the possibility of creating design templates for DIY music visualizers that incorporate technology and creativity. - **Consumer Electronics:** By incorporating Raspberry Pi technology into their products, electronics companies will allow customers to create custom and interactive products. - **DIY and Crafting:** As more people look to DIY projects, the crafting industry can offer specialized tools and components for creating custom music visualizers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Visualized Music Display Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhythm-light.md) - [Sound-Reactive Smart Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-table-lamp-2-pro-x-sound-by-jbl.md) - [Movement-Evoking Audio Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favle22.md) - [Spinning Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table.md) - [Kinetic Artful Sand Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrakis-30.md) - [Sensory Stimulation Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasix-table.md) - [Visual Sound-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frequency-20.md) - [Gothic Wooden Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gothic-table-lamp.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md)
