The user then rotates the steel crank to allow the surface to be extended, which enables the table to grow three-times its size in just seconds. This makes it ideal for [small homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-cafe-table) where the inhabitant wants to maintain a lifestyle that is focused on entertaining and dinner parties. The 'Roll-Out' extending table is crafted from [beech wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barricane-tables) and has been treated with beeswax to ensure it makes a stylish piece of furniture in virtually any home space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Roll-up Furniture:** Roll-up furniture may become a new trend in small space living as it allows for easy and quick extension of furniture pieces like tables. - **Mechanical Furniture:** Mechanical furniture could be a disruptive innovation opportunity as it provides a unique value to consumers with innovative designs that solve problems surrounding space constraints. - **Sustainable Furniture:** Sustainable furniture is a growing trend and the use of natural materials like beech wood and beeswax in furniture construction presents an opportunity for eco-friendly solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturing companies have an opportunity to create innovative designs like the 'Roll-Out' extending table that address consumer challenges like small-space living. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage the trend of roll-up furniture as a solution to the challenge of creating functional spaces within a small living area. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Creating eco-friendly furniture from materials like beech wood and beeswax offers an opportunity for companies to address consumers' growing concern for sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptive Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture.md) - [Rolled-Up Wooden Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofan.md) - [Effortless Glass Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbital.md) - [Industrial Shapeshifting Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jointable.md) - [Folding Scandinavian Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lounge-table.md) - [Wine Storage Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roll-side-table.md) - [Adjustable Side Table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turno.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Flexible Dining Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/round-dining-collection.md)
