Fragile yet resistant, and solid yet light, Tonelli Bacco's inspirations come from forging a philosophy that conjoins tradition and technology. The table itself is fully formed of transparent glass, with its legs a bent, right-angled piece that holds up a large slate of glass at the top. The table costs $2,800, and is a beautiful piece of precise engineering that molds simplicity with imagination. The table is made from a 12mm-thick [toughened glass top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-collection) and two symmetrical glass supports to create a well-balanced aesthetic form. The table comes in standard and transparent glass or extra-clear glass. The top of the table is available in both a square and rectangular top. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Transparent Furniture:** The trend of transparent furniture allows for a sleek and minimal aesthetic in interiors. - **Glass Technology:** Innovations in glass technology offer opportunities for creating unique and functional furniture designs. - **Sustainability in Design:** The use of materials like glass in sustainable ways can contribute to the growing trend of eco-friendly design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Companies in the furniture design sector can utilize glass technology and transparency trends to create new and innovative products. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating minimalist and transparent furniture designs in interior projects can add a modern and light aesthetic appeal. - **Architecture:** Architectural firms can explore using transparent materials like glass to create sustainable and innovative building designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simplistic Glass Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simoon-collection.md) - [Juxtaposing Material Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compression-dining-table.md) - [Luxury Transparent Game Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/effetto-71-ping-pong-table.md) - [Light-Refracting Glass Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv.md) - [Effortless Glass Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbital.md) - [Glass Boundary-Exploring Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sklo.md) - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.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)
