# Ultra-Minimalist Seesaw Furniture Collections Nendo Creates a Set of Tables for Marsotto Edizioni By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-10-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seesaw-furniture References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/10/nendo-seesaw-collection-marsotto-edizioni) & [nendo.jp](http://www.nendo.jp/en/works/seesaw/?erelease) Japanese company [Nendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-andon-table) arranges a striking collection of seesaw furniture. Consisting of two side tables and a larger dining table, the pieces challenge perceptions through their illusory exterior. The exceptionally exquisite silhouettes include the placement of a heavy marble top onto a pointed base. This is what gives the seesaw furniture its balanced attributes. Nendo undertook an [ultra-minimalist design approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karimoku-case) for this collection. As a result, the incredibly luxurious materials are highlighted and the three marbled pieces make for exceptional additions to the contemporary home interior. The monochromatic exterior of the tables also adds a sense of effortless sophistication. Intending to relate "a contradictory impression between the natural heaviness of the marble and the lightness of the design," Nendo produces the seesaw furniture collection for Italian marble specialists Marsotto Edizioni. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Ultra-minimalist Design:** Opportunity for creating sleek and minimalistic furniture designs that highlight luxurious materials. - **Illusory Exterior:** Potential for designing furniture with visually intriguing and deceptive elements. - **Contradictory Impressions:** Opportunity for creating furniture collections that play with contrasting characteristics and create unique effects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Furniture:** The home furniture industry can explore creating minimalist furniture designs with luxurious materials to appeal to contemporary interiors. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate furniture with illusory exteriors to add visual intrigue and depth to their projects. - **Marble Manufacturing:** Marble specialists can collaborate with designers to create furniture collections that showcase the contradictory impressions between natural heaviness and design lightness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Lantern-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-andon-table.md) - [Elegant Tonal Table Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection.md) - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Minimalist Monolithic Table Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taula-table-collection.md) - [Playful Wavy Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-table-design.md) - [Playfully Structured Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nami.md) - [Wood-Mimicking Furniture Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-and-table.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md) - [Impactful Industrial Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-steel-side-table.md)
