The columns come in four varieties to choose from, which are each crafted out of [sustainable materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycelium-wall) including PET felt made from 50% recycled plastics. The columns are capable of being paired with plants in the upper section, while coat hooks are also great for holding onto garments if positioned at an entryway. The 'Parthos' acoustic columns also feature one variant with a power outlet to allow nearby persons to charge devices. This makes the columns great for communal workspaces, while the [acoustic-dampening design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harp-system) of the pieces will help open-concept spaces to echo less and create passive divides between areas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Acoustic Solutions:** Designing multifunctional acoustics for modern areas of work and habitation. - **Sustainable Materials:** Finding eco-friendly and sustainable materials for acoustic solutions. - **Multipurpose Storage Units:** Designing storage units that serve multiple purposes in modern spaces. ### Where This Applies - **Interiors and Architecture:** Making acoustic solutions for modern interior design and architecture. - **Furniture and Storage:** Manufacturing sustainable and multifunctional storage units for spaces. - **Technology and Workspaces:** Developing communal workspaces with power outlets and acoustic solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Sound-Dampening Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-compositions.md) - [Recycled Plastic Privacy Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/privacy-panels.md) - [Customizable Personal Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-pod.md) - [Calming Acoustic Privacy Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actiu-qyos.md) - [Wool Office Soundscape Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstracta.md) - [Sculptural Acoustic Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echoes-of-the-deep.md) - [Easy-to-Install Acoustic Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-acoustic-panel.md) - [Acoustic Optimization Office Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kirei-air-baffle.md) - [Felt-Made Wall Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hush-blocks.md)
