# Quirky Foldable Furniture The A Frame Tables by Tomas Alonso Boast Colorful Bases By Meghan Young | Published 2013-01-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-frame-tables References: [itsnicethat](http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/tomas-alonso) & [tomas-alonso](http://www.tomas-alonso.com/) The A Frame Tables collection is a blend of basic simplicity and quirky touches. The minimalist nature behind each piece of furniture is brought about by the use of [natural woods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidone), which would normally make them perfect for the cottage or a carpenter's shop. Nevertheless, the addition of a single [colorful leg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda) and unique support structures give each table an artistic edge that makes it more than suitable for the home. Designed by RCA graduate Tomás Alonso, the A Frame Tables series prides itself on function as much as it does on form. Each table is [foldable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patan-chair) so as to make it easily transportable, not to mention it stows away conveniently when not needed in general. So far, Alonso has created rounded and rectangular designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Foldable Furniture:** The trend of foldable furniture offers increased portability and convenience for consumers on-the-go. - **Minimalist Design:** Minimalist design is an emerging trend in furniture which emphasizes functional simplicity and understated elegance. - **Artistic Edge:** Adding an artistic edge to furniture designs is becoming increasingly popular as consumers seek unique and personalized products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of home and office furniture can leverage the trend of foldable furniture to offer increased convenience and savings for consumers. - **Interior Design:** Interior design professionals can incorporate minimalist furniture designs to create sleek and elegant living spaces for their clients. - **Craftsmanship:** Craftspeople can incorporate unique support structures and colorful accents into their furniture designs to add an artistic edge and stand out in a crowded market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Portable Tray Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taso-tray-table.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md) - [Wall-Mounted Two-Legged Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instable-side-table.md) - [Acrylic Multicolor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-side-tables.md) - [Modern Customizable Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-table-design.md) - [Impactful Industrial Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-steel-side-table.md) - [Simplistic Wooden Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nuo.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md)
