The hammock takes inspiration from children that have [nap time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zzzn-sleep-apparel-system) at school, by providing consumers with a comfortable place to set up an impromptu bed. The Schnap is an ideal solution for consumers that stay late at work, spend the night or need some down time. The device is a small scale hammock designed to attach to a table or desk using clamps that suspend the bed below. The desk provides a private setting while the hammock creates a sleeping area that is comfortable and perfect for naps and relaxation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Portable Desk Hammocks:** There is an opportunity to innovate portable desk hammocks that are even more lightweight, easy to set up and comfortable. - **Workplace Wellness:** Businesses can tap into the trend of incorporating wellness initiatives such as providing areas for employees to rest and recharge during long work hours. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** Furniture brands can incorporate multi-functional design, creating innovative pieces that serve more than one purpose, such as the Schnap's ability to provide a temporary bed and desk. ### Where This Applies - **Office Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunities exist for office furniture manufacturers to explore the design and creation of portable desk hammocks. - **Corporate Wellness Services:** Companies can incorporate the trend of workplace wellness into their corporate culture and offerings, through providing rest areas similar to the use of the Schnap. - **Interior Design Retail:** Retailers can cater to the growing demand for multifunctional furniture designs by offering innovative products that serve both form and function such as the Schnap. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nap-Oriented Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-nap-chair.md) - [Humorous Quick Cleanup Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-desk-concept.md) - [Vertical Nap Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/napping-pods.md) - [Standing Tranquil Napping Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giraffenap.md) - [Detachable Wall-Mounted Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-desk-system.md) - [Sliding Desk-Equipped Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boomerang-bed.md) - [Scooter-Like Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-work-station.md) - [Folding Multifunctional Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ignite-desk.md) - [Mobile Outdoor Workspace Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freelance-workspace.md)
