# Modular Interlocking Furniture The Table +/- by gOO arquitectos is Shaped Like the Letter G By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-by-goo-arquitectos References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2012/11/table-goo-arquitectos) & [gooarquitectos](http://gooarquitectos.com/2012/10/12/2/) The Table +/- by gOO arquitectos, a design studio based in Mexico and founded by Alfredo Nader Mena and Alejandro Nuñez Alfaro, is a piece of [modular furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco) that interlocks in a unique way. In place of common notches, [two of the tables connect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agni-modular) via negative space. This is made possible due to their G-like shape that can be flipped over in just about any direction in order to accommodate different needs and wants. Made out of [solid wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidone) obtained from construction sites, the Table +/- by gOO arquitectos can be used alone or with another table. Whether the surface is extended length-wise or width-wise, it provides a sophisticated tabletop to gather around. Although it was created to be a table, it is rigid enough to be used as a bench as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## 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 - **Modular Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to interlock and connect modular furniture pieces for customizable configurations. - **Negative Space Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate negative space in furniture designs to create unique and functional interlocking mechanisms. - **Upcycled Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize reclaimed materials, such as wood from construction sites, to create eco-friendly furniture pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce modular furniture lines that offer customizable options for consumers. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative space-saving furniture solutions for small living spaces. - **Sustainable Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop methods to repurpose construction waste materials into high-quality furniture products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Customizable Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-design.md) - [Industrial Shapeshifting Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jointable.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Reversable Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse.md) - [Multipurpose Adaptable Office Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pluralis.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Simplistic Wooden Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nuo.md)
