The Illusion Table

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

A Table Wonder Woman Would Be Proud Of

— March 1, 2007 — Art & Design
This is another piece from the &David Store that I thought was amazing and fun. This is called, aptly, The Illusion Table. This piece, of course, would be the perfect piece for Wonder Woman seeing as she has a fetish for all things invisible. I happen to like it, too. I keep thinking that I have never seen clear acrylic treated so artfully. The pleats and wrinkles of the acrylic really mimic those of a tablecloth so artfully as to remind me of Bernini's treatment of cloth. I'm imagining this piece would be extremely fun in rooms where lots of light and color play off of the piece in a way that dissolves the piece completely.
Trend Themes
1. Acrylic Furniture - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new techniques to treat clear acrylic in an artistic and unique way to mimic different textures and shapes.
2. Invisible Furniture - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create furniture designs that play with transparency and invisibility, offering a sense of lightness and illusion in interior spaces.
3. Artful Mimicry - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Combine artistic expression with functional design by exploring innovative ways to mimic everyday objects using unconventional materials.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Push the boundaries of traditional furniture design by experimenting with materials and creating unique and artistic pieces.
2. Interior Design - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Integrate innovative furniture designs that play with transparency and mimicry to create visually stunning and unique interior spaces.
3. Art and Sculpture - Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Merge art and functionality by exploring unconventional materials and techniques to create sculptures and installations that challenge traditional concepts.
