# Trompe l'Oeil Tables The Kuban Series Messes with Your Perception as Mesmerizing Movables By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-09-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuban-series References: [muuuz](http://muuuz.com/magazine/rubriques/design/45391-luc-jozancy-série-kuban.html) & [avantpremiere.fr](http://www.avantpremiere.fr/) The effect of looking at [Avant Première's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme) Kuban Series in photographic form is certainly amplified; nevertheless, the experience of seeing these furnishings before you in the room would likely provoke a double take. While the [coffee tables and side tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection) that make up Luc Jozancy's collection do feature flat surfaces, the way that they've been pieced together with different colored units makes them look even more three-dimensional. When you glance down upon the low tables, it might seem as though a shifted cube has formed, an illusion created with the union of three diamonds. From where you're standing, you'll discern what appear to be two sides and a top, perhaps stacked when additional units are arranged tightly together. The Matière Grise Kuban Series may have a bolder or subtler effect depending on your color choices for the metal finishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Trompe L'oeil Furniture:** Opportunity to disrupt the furniture industry with aesthetically pleasing furnishings designed to trick the eye and add a unique touch to interior decor. - **3D Illusion Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior design industry to incorporate 3D illusion elements into their designs for a visually stunning effect. - **Multifunctional Tables:** Opportunity for furniture industry to create tables that serve both a functional purpose and add an artistic element to any space. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Incorporating different colored units to create a 3D illusion on furniture could create disruptive innovation opportunities in the industry. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can include Trompe l'Oeil furniture in their designs to create a unique and visually pleasing effect. - **Home Decor:** The trend of Trompe l'Oeil furniture and 3D illusion elements can disrupt the home decor industry and inspire creativity in home design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Acrylic Multicolor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-side-tables.md) - [Interlocking Puzzle-Like Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-table.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Optical-Illusion Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sevval-kalaycikli.md) - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md) - [Illusory Cracked Base Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-side-table.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md) - [Wavy Sculptural Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables.md)
