They give you a large pre-printed circuit board and a soldering kit. You then attach several hundred LED bulbs, which are relatively inexpensive. Then you put the circuit board under glass, or [translucent plexiglass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv) for an even cooler look, and the diodes respond to heat, creating the entrancing [wave of light patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightboks). Now instead of people going home to be wrapped in the blue glow of their TV screens, they have the option of zoning out to their interactive LED tables. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **DIY Interactive LED Tables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop user-friendly DIY kits for creating interactive LED tables in homes and businesses. - **Heat-sensitive LED Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore applications of heat-sensitive LED technology in various industries, such as interior design, entertainment, and art. - **Integration of Light with Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with furniture manufacturers to integrate light and LED technology into their designs, creating unique and immersive experiences for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate interactive LED tables into interior design projects to enhance the ambience and create dynamic visual displays. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate heat-sensitive LED technology into entertainment venues, such as nightclubs and live performances, to enhance the atmosphere and engage the audience. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encourage artists and designers to experiment with heat-sensitive LED technology, pushing the boundaries of visual art and creating unique interactive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Projection Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abusizz.md) - [Connected Cubic Desk Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeelight-cube.md) - [Customizable Hexagonal Desk Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cololight-plus-hexagon-light-kit.md) - [Math-Driven Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light.md) - [Dynamic Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table.md) - [Cutting-Edge Party Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meeda.md) - [Kinetic Artful Sand Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrakis-30.md) - [Automatic Smart Coffee tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-coffee-table-black.md) - [Modular Dynamic Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonside-neon-hex.md)
