The unit can be placed in almost any space but would be most suitable for tiny homes and apartments that have limited space and functionality. The unit that contains a bed, closet, lounge section, entertainment unit, storage areas, drawers, hooks and a workstation. The unit is customizable depending on the needs of the moment and is controlled and connected through the 'Ori System' -- which can also connect to other [smart devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonoma). The CityHome comes in a variety of colors and designs to best suit the needs of the space it is placed in. From providing a sleeping area to working as a room divider, this [compact but multi-functional unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) would make a useful addition to micro living spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Multi-functional Furniture:** Exploring the potential for furniture to serve multiple purposes in small living spaces. - **Customizable Living Solutions:** Developing modular furniture systems that can adapt to various needs and preferences. - **Smart Home Integration:** Integrating furniture with smart technology to enhance functionality and convenience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design and Manufacturing:** Opportunity for designing and producing innovative, space-saving furniture solutions. - **Real Estate and Property Development:** Potential to incorporate multi-functional furniture into the design of small living spaces. - **Smart Home Technology:** Creating smart home systems that seamlessly integrate with multi-functional furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Flatpack Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opoo-multifunctional-furniture.md) - [Multifunctional Small Studio Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-mescla.md) - [Ultra-Simple Multifunctional Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chairpf.md) - [Versatile Modular Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformer-couch-20.md) - [Reimagined Minimal Parisian Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon.md) - [Expanding Three-in-One Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expandy.md) - [Smartly Designed Compact Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-apartments2.md) - [Cleverly Designed Micro Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabanon.md) - [Adaptive Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture.md)
