Convenient furniture for a work-from-home environment, artistic furniture, and sustainable materials are all prevalent in this list of May 2022 furniture trends.
With many employees situated in work from home jobs, the environment of the home office is one that many companies are trying to improve upon with innovative desks. One such desk is the 'Shelf x Shelf x Shelf' desk from Small Splash, a Korean design studio. This desk incorporates far more storage than the traditional single-drawer desk. Not only does this desk have storage bays directly under the table, but it also has more than 12 extra storage compartments built into the legs of the desk. For employees that require a high number of tools to complete their work, this desk ensures every item is always within arm's reach.
On the sustainability side, the 'Lockengloat' focused on creating stylish, functional furniture out of upcycled oil barrels. With oil being one of the most environmentally damaging industries on the planet, any sustainable innovation in the field is a welcome change. These oil barrels are cleaned, painted, and finished, transforming them from oil storage solutions to everything from bedside tables to clear-panel shelves.
