Inspired by the way objects reflect light, the design takes on a flexible and air-like quality. Made with [tinted glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection), the material was then bent in order to fit with one another. At first glance the Jason Phillips Treforma design appears as a single unit, but it is actually a composition of [three separate tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair). They have been made to stack into one entity in order to save space. With such a versatile design, users can decide however they wish to use it. More than just a design of furniture, the Jason Phillips Treforma tables are an artistic statement with its fluidity and transformative qualities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Transformative Table Designs:** Opportunity for designers and furniture manufacturers to innovate and create multi-functional and space-saving table designs. - **Flexible Materials:** Opportunity for material developers and manufacturers to explore bendable and air-like materials for versatile and innovative design applications. - **Stackable Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create stackable designs that maximize space utilization and offer customizable options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture designers to create dynamic and space-saving table designs that enhance functionality and aesthetic appeal. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate transformative table designs into their projects, offering unique and space-efficient solutions. - **Home Decor Retail:** Opportunity for home decor retailers to offer innovative and versatile table designs that cater to space-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial Shapeshifting Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jointable.md) - [Modern Customizable Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-design.md) - [Juxtaposing Material Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compression-dining-table.md) - [Multifuntional Modular Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table.md) - [Adaptive Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture.md) - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md) - [Transformative Furniture Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2.md) - [Angular Transforming Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optimus-furniture.md) - [Dynamic Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-side-table.md)
