# Petite Prismatic Tables Shimmer by Patricia Urquiola is Made with Iridescent Glass By Meghan Young | Published 2014-11-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prismatic-table References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/patricia-urquiola-glas-italia-shimmer.php) & [glasitalia](http://www.glasitalia.com/) The prismatic table looks as though it would bring a lot of color into a person's life. Made out of [iridescent glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table) that has been given a multicolored finish, it reacts beautifully to light in order to chift in color from time to time. In this way, it almost feels as though it is never the same. Designed by Patricia Urquiola for [Glas Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simoon-collection), the prismatic table was shown at [Salone del Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salone-del-mobile) earlier this year. Appropriately dubbed Shimmer, the prismatic table is available in various sizes as well as finishes including glossy or opaque. True to form, it is would make an extravagant purchase as it rings in between $2,540 and $2,987. Yet it is quite extravagant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Iridescent Glass:** There are opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating new applications and designs using iridescent glass. - **Multicolored Finishes:** The use of multicolored finishes can be explored to create dynamic and visually appealing products in various industries. - **Light-reactive Materials:** Developing materials that react to light can lead to innovative products and experiences in design and architecture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore the use of iridescent glass and multicolored finishes to create unique and luxurious pieces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate light-reactive materials to create immersive and interactive spaces. - **Art and Decor:** Artists and decorators can experiment with iridescent glass and multicolored finishes to create captivating and visually striking artworks and decorative pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md) - [Sunset-Inspired Printed Glass Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-collection.md) - [Simplistic Glass Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simoon-collection.md) - [Candy-Inspired Cylindrical Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-table.md) - [Light-Refracting Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv.md) - [Optical-Illusion Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sevval-kalaycikli.md) - [Structural Blown Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lokum-collection.md) - [Crystalline Gem-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-coffee-tables.md) - [Candy-Like Glossy Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luis-gimeno.md)
