— January 8, 2022 — Art & Design
All-in-one, modular, multifunctional and pet-friendly designs are among the top 2021 furniture trends, which speak to the changing needs of the home and office environment. The last few years have only accelerated the demand for flexible workspaces, which is being accommodated with private pods, smart standing desks, transforming furniture and other designs that help to increase comfort.

Alongside pieces of furniture that function to provide temporary places of work, people are investing in stylish and cozy pieces for the home that help to express a sense of personality in a way that's still conducive to the demands of everyday life.
