# Faux-Lace Tablecloths The tischDECKe and tischDECKle Tables Have Unusually Industrial Drapery By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tischdecke-and-tischdeckle References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2013/01/tischDECKe-and-tischDECKle.html) & [modell-n.de](http://www.modell-n.de/) It tends to be hit or miss when it comes drawing antique motifs into the sphere of contemporary design and these tischDECKe and tischDECKle tables appear to be the former. The pair of pieces make for [eccentric side tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-table-designs) that marry old styles and new in an iconic and idiosyncratic way. Both are assembled with a [basic wooden frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidone) that consists of four supportive legs and an open rectangular top. It's unexpected then that a tablecloth would be able to create a [rigid surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-side-table). Powder-coated steel was actually used to form the tabletops under the guise of mere linen. Barbara Ott's design is embellished with scalloped hanging edges and perforated doily patterns that give the tischDECKe and tischDECKle side tables a quirky aesthetic of updated vintage taste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Industrial Chic Furniture:** Design products that incorporate industrial materials and patterns into contemporary furniture. - **Updated Vintage Design:** Create products that combine vintage design elements with modern materials and construction techniques. - **Unexpected Material Innovation:** Experiment with unconventional materials to create innovative new products and designs. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacture furniture with unexpected materials and designs to create unique and modern pieces. - **Home Decor:** Develop unique and quirky home decor products that combine vintage and modern design for the contemporary consumer. - **Tableware Design:** Experiment with unconventional tableware materials and designs to create furniture designs that are both functional and eye-catching. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Catching Tabletop Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-design.md) - [Optically-Designed Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigma-coffee-tables.md) - [Japandi-Style Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-coffee-table.md) - [Structurally Artful Table Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vakr.md) - [Textile-Topped Table Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumble-tables.md) - [Strikingly Elegant Tablescapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-tablescape.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md) - [Raw Stone-Inspired Jagged Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels-coffee-table.md) - [Undulating Fabric-Topped Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groove-table-concept.md)
