The top December 2019 furniture designs explore forms that are highly portable, made with repurposed materials and even unconventionally mixed materials.
With the values of the modern consumer in mind, furniture designers are creating designs that are easily moveable—whether that means they are e-commerce-friendly and simple to deliver, flexible enough to live within different rooms of the home or effortless for people to take with them as they move into an entirely new house or apartment space. One standout design is the conceptual Photo Table, which is designed to provide the perfect backdrop for social media photos.
On the topic of reducing waste, many designers are creatively repurposing materials like ocean plastic or industrial waste in order to create furniture pieces that are just as aesthetically interesting as they are eco-friendly.
