# Pimp My Coffee Table Geek Furniture Comes to Life By Rose A. Valenta | Published 2007-07-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimp-my-coffee-table-geek-furniture-comes-to-life References: [luxurylaunches](http://www.luxurylaunches.com/decor/interactive_led_coffee_table_comes_to_life_with_motion.php) & [evilmadscientist](http://www.evilmadscientist.com/) Motion inspires this [interactive LED coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp). Its design features a network of 32 optical sensors and works in daylight as well as night time. It looks awesome when something like a cat walks across it in the dark. **Implications** - The sensors are super sensitive, allowing for every one of your actions to be reflected back. Ultimately, this piece is so much more than a table, it's like a strange, but cool [mechanical coffee companion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/come-together-robot). The [calming lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-collection-1) that come from the piece are sure to ease you after a long day of work and stress--plus, the table only consumers 35 watts of power. This is allegedly less than a standard light bulb! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 70% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive LED Furniture:** The motion-activated LED coffee table represents a trend of integrating interactive technology into furniture designs. - **Optical Sensor Integration:** The network of 32 optical sensors showcases the trend of incorporating advanced sensor technology into consumer products. - **Energy-efficient Design:** The low power consumption of the coffee table demonstrates the trend of designing furniture with energy efficiency in mind. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** This interactive LED coffee table presents opportunities for furniture designers to create unique and engaging pieces that incorporate technology. - **Sensor Technology:** The integration of optical sensors in the coffee table opens doors for sensor technology companies to expand their applications in diverse consumer products. - **Sustainable Lighting:** The energy-efficient design of the coffee table highlights opportunities for sustainable lighting companies to develop eco-friendly lighting solutions for interior spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Computer-Equipped Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-coffee-table.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) - [Crawling Dynamic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carpentopod.md) - [Subtly Smart Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etto-table.md) - [Spinning Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table.md) - [Curvaceous Animalistic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookpet-coffee-table.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Optically-Designed Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-coffee-tables.md)
