# Liquid Mercury Tables The Timothy Schreiber E-Volved Table Flows into Production By Meghan Young | Published 2009-10-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timothy-schreiber-e-volved-table References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2009/10/08/e-volved-table-by-timothy-schreiber/) & [timothy-schreiber](http://www.timothy-schreiber.com/#) Liquid mercury has this alienesque quality to it that is always so fascinating that it’s no wonder I am equally intrigued by the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table. Although not inspired by liquid mercury, its resemblance to the substance is unmistakable. Designed in 2007, the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table is finally being put into production by Dutch manufacturer FueraDentro. A part of their 2010 collection, admirers are bound to appreciate the “natural fluid patterns” and “organic, bone-like connections” that the designer hopes are noticed. I definitely notice these patterns--they're what drew me to the piece in the first place. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 44% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fluid-design Furniture:** The popularity of fluid-design furniture continues to rise, offering opportunities for designers to create unconventional pieces that incorporate fluid-like patterns and shapes. - **Organic-inspired Decor:** Organic-inspired decor, inspired by natural patterns found in materials like liquid mercury, is becoming increasingly popular as people seek unique and eco-friendly home decor options. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Sustainable manufacturing practices are gaining traction in the industry, as seen with the production of the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table and similar designs that aim to reduce waste and environmental impact. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of fluid-design furniture by creating similar pieces that incorporate unique shapes and patterns, attracting customers seeking unconventional decor options. - **Home Decor Retail:** Home decor retailers can offer organic-inspired decor options to meet the growing customer demand for eco-friendly and natural decor, appealing to those who seek unique and aesthetically pleasing pieces like the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table. - **Environmental Sustainability:** The rising trend of sustainable manufacturing in the furniture industry presents opportunities for businesses to reduce their environmental impact, and promote eco-friendly practices and materials like those used in the Timothy Schreiber e-volved Table. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geologically Fluid Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-geology-table-collection.md) - [Dynamic Sculptural Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table.md) - [Dynamic Structural Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermass-and-alton.md) - [Acrylic Multicolor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-side-tables.md) - [Structural Blown Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lokum-collection.md) - [Harmonious Helical Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vortex-coffee-table.md) - [Blurred Bold Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blur-coffee-table.md) - [Coiled Timber Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recoil.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md)
