Get a [disappearing staircase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coilo)! At the press of a button, Aaron Tang's "Wall Stairs," [fold up and into your walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture), saving you space and giving you full control of access to other floors. "In the flat position, this staircase is flush with the wall," Inventor Spot explained. "At the simple push of a button, powerful hydraulic pistons slide the frame out and the planks that make up the actual stairs gently drop down in a graceful, upward-bound wave, creating a [solid staircase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobalt-coach-house) from which to reach new heights." There's nothing as annoying as guarding the stair way when you're hosting a party. After all, no one likes drunks snooping through their most personal possessions, pervs in sifting through the panty drawer, or worse, frisky couples going at it between *your* sheets after a few too many Jaeger Bombs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Folding Staircases:** Opportunity for companies to create innovative space-saving staircases. - **Hydraulic Technology Integration:** Application of hydraulic technology into household furniture could lead to numerous innovative products. - **Custom Home Design:** Growing trend towards custom home design could incorporate innovative space-saving products such as disappearing staircases. ### Where This Applies - **Home Improvement:** Companies in this industry could offer unique, space-saving designs for homes and could benefit from incorporating hydraulic technology. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disappearing staircase technology could be applied to furniture manufacturing, providing innovative and space-saving designs. - **Architecture:** As the trend towards custom home design grows, architects will need to find innovative space-saving solutions such as disappearing staircases that fit their clients' unique needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bold Architectural Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-iron-house.md) - [Reimagined Traditional Library Ladders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/step-by-step-ladder.md) - [Seamless Pet Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawstairs.md) - [Stair-Climbing Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascender-robot.md) - [Elevated Leisure Habitats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-leisure-habitat.md) - [Discreet Folding Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf.md) - [Versatile Interior Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevate-tiny-home.md) - [Contemporary Folding Ladders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scaleo.md) - [Motorized Sofa Wall Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonale.md)
