Dubbed the '[Hasu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-tablet),' the furniture piece is [modular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corcelain). The materials for the exceptionally crafted piece are sourced from Sèvres — 275-year-old porcelain manufacturer. Nendo's creation encompasses a love for nature, communicates the delicacy of flowers and highlights the relationship between abstractness and realism. The porcelain tabletop consists of a square-shaped end that "gradually disperses into a group of small round tables." Flat on one end and highly detailed on the other, the textural shift of the Hasu table signifies a move between artistic styles. Aside from the beautiful porcelain tabletop, Nendo also creates a few ornamental flower pieces that are to serve as home decor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Furniture:** The Lilypad Porcelain Tabletop showcases the trend of modular furniture, offering opportunities for customizable and versatile home decor solutions. - **Nature-inspired Design:** Nendo's use of lilypad aesthetics in the porcelain tabletop reflects the trend of nature-inspired design, presenting opportunities for incorporating organic forms into various industries. - **Abstract-realism Balance:** The Hasu table's juxtaposition of abstract and realistic elements highlights the trend of balancing abstract and realism, presenting opportunities for creating visually striking and unconventional designs. ### Where This Applies - **Home Furnishings:** The Lilypad Porcelain Tabletop trend presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the home furnishings industry, encouraging the development of customizable and nature-inspired furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** The nature-inspired design trend showcased by the Hasu table offers opportunities in the interior design industry, allowing designers to incorporate organic and visually captivating elements in their projects. - **Art and Sculpture:** The abstract-realism balance trend observed in the Hasu table presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and sculpture industry, encouraging the creation of unique and thought-provoking pieces that merge contrasting artistic styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Lantern-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-andon-table.md) - [Aquatic Plant-Inspired Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lilypad-cake-stand.md) - [Clay-Covered Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-kasane-33-clay-table.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md) - [Flower Petal-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phlox-collection.md) - [Contemporary Elegant Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-table-designs.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Origami-Inspired Lit Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup.md) - [Chic Sustainable Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oceanides-table-collection.md)
