# Stacked Block Furnishings Aleph Collection Provides a Simplified Modular Alternative to Movables By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-collection References: [blog.leibal](http://blog.leibal.com/furniture/aleph/) & [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/archives/028335.php) A mildly imaginative person can figure out how to effectively construct different items of furniture from basic building blocks. The Aleph Collection asks it user to do just this, inviting one to arrange a group of rectilinear objects into everything from [stools and side tables to bookcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair). Designer Gyuyub Jo of South Korea suggests that the integration of these minimalist units into small apartments is a wise way to furnish small apartments with single inhabitants. Based on the spatial and financial pressures of bringing broad tables and sofas into urban flats, these [simple lumber modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunks-and-blocks) make life easier and more adaptable. Two models, the 45 and the 25, come in two different sizes. The Aleph Collection always functions as [storage boxes or cubbies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumba) but can form desks, seating and shelving with a little creative configuration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Furniture:** The trend of modular furniture allows for customizable and adaptable living spaces. - **Simplified Design:** The trend of simplified design focuses on minimalist, functional furniture pieces. - **Small Space Living:** The trend of small space living encourages innovative solutions for furnishing tiny apartments. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can explore opportunities to create modular, multifunctional furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate simplified and minimalist furniture designs into small space projects. - **Housing and Real Estate:** The housing and real estate industry can consider the demand for furniture that is tailored to small apartments and single inhabitants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Twin-Piece Modular Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agni-modular.md) - [Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arca.md) - [Blocked Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vank-cube.md) - [Modular Beam-Themed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-collection.md) - [Toy Block-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-collection.md) - [Single-Mold Bold Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-collection-1.md) - [Stackable Flat-Pack Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1.md) - [Reconfigurable Modular Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco.md) - [Flexible Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbox-modular-shelving.md)
