# Coin Slot Surfaces The Button Side Table Makes a Wardrobe Change Dependent on Need By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-06-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/button-side-table References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/48460/) & [cargocollective](http://cargocollective.com/wwwfredrikwaernes/Button) The Button Side Table embodies one of the best qualities of an ideal [couch companion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat): versatility. The activities carried out within living rooms, family rooms and lounges can change by the hour and this lovely little piece of furniture is poised with adaptability. Fredrik Waernes gave this [lightweight four-legged object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table) a slot in the center to create a handle so that it can be easily lifted and carried to a new location. It is this unconventional physical feature that likely gave the Button its name. The user can also pick up just one part of the coffee table at a time should he wish, and benefit from the Button Side Table's removable tabletop that doubles as a serving tray. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Versatile Furniture:** The trend of versatile furniture offers opportunities for creating innovative pieces that can adapt to different needs and spaces. - **Modular Design:** Modular design trends allow for customizable furniture solutions that can be easily reconfigured or modified according to user preferences. - **Multipurpose Accessories:** The rise of multipurpose accessories provides avenues for creating innovative designs that combine functionality and convenience in one product. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can leverage the trend of versatile furniture to develop products that cater to changing lifestyles and space constraints. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can explore modular design trends to create flexible and customizable spaces that enhance user experience. - **Home Decor and Furnishings:** The home decor and furnishings industry can tap into the demand for multipurpose accessories by offering innovative products that serve multiple functions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adjustable Side Table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turno.md) - [Moveable Wave-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-table-concept.md) - [Personalized Side Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swivel.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Spinning Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table.md) - [Transforming Stool-Integrated Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quartet-side-table.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Dual-Position Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-design-concept.md) - [Asymmetrical Storage Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossbred-side-table.md)
