# Illusory Infinity Tables Louise-Anne Van 'T Riet's Table Design Appears Bottomless By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-table References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/030243.php) & [louvtr](http://www.louvtr.com/) While you often want to keep surfaces as uncluttered as possible to show off a piece of furniture, the [infinity table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-collection) design by Louise-Anne van 't Riet becomes amplified with objects placed on it. The Infinitum has Arduino-powered [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv) lining its interior, creating the [illusion of a vortex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture) that goes on forever. As much as the table is interesting to look at with a water glass or magazine on its surface, the smart table only powers off when all of the objects resting on it have been removed. The table is able to make these detections thanks to embedded sensors that pick up on small vibrations. Although the furniture piece seems quite complicated, the simplicity of its construction is astounding, as you can see with the finished surfaces removed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Infinity Tables:** Create furniture designs with embedded LED lights to create the illusion of endless depth. - **Smart Surfaces:** Develop furniture surfaces integrated with sensors to detect and interact with objects. - **Simplified Construction:** Explore minimalist furniture construction methods to achieve impressive designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Create innovative furniture pieces with interactive and visually appealing features. - **Interior Design:** Incorporate infinity tables and smart surfaces into interior design projects for a captivating aesthetic. - **Technology:** Apply embedded sensors and LED lighting technology to create unique and functional furniture designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table.md) - [Subtly Smart Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etto-table.md) - [Elegant Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangent-table.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lit Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup.md) - [Dynamic Interaction Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmasurface.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md) - [Optically-Designed Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-coffee-tables.md) - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md)
