# Built-In Bucket Furniture The Garden Party Table by Alain Gilles By Meghan Young | Published 2010-03-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-party-table References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/03/03/garden-party-table-by-alain-gilles/) & [alaingilles](http://www.alaingilles.com/) A person is only truly ready for a party when they have something as blatant as the Garden Party Table, which features a built-in cooler for alcoholic beverages. What more can you ask for in terms of a good time? Designed by Alain Gilles, the Garden Party Table is not just for those types of parties, however. The 'cooler' can also function as a planter, which makes sense considering its name. As a side note, the Keny bar stools were designed by Cedric Ragot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Built-in Bucket Furniture:** The trend of incorporating built-in bucket features into furniture, like the Garden Party Table, creates opportunities for innovative outdoor entertainment solutions. - **Multi-functional Outdoor Furniture:** The rise of multi-functional outdoor furniture, like the Garden Party Table with its cooler-to-planter design, opens up possibilities for space-saving and versatile outdoor living. - **Integrated Outdoor Entertainment:** The integration of entertainment features, such as built-in coolers and planters in outdoor furniture like the Garden Party Table, presents opportunities for seamless and convenient outdoor gatherings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore incorporating built-in bucket features and multi-functionality to cater to the outdoor entertainment needs of consumers. - **Outdoor Living:** The outdoor living industry can tap into the demand for integrated entertainment solutions by offering innovative and versatile furniture like the Garden Party Table. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry can leverage the trend of built-in bucket furniture to provide unique and practical options for outdoor gatherings and parties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometrically Informed Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-table1.md) - [Wine-Catered Vibrant Artful Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-table.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Cutting-Edge Party Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meeda.md) - [Drink-Holding Outdoor Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lago-lounge-chair.md) - [Portable Folding Barbecue Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gather-table.md) - [Elevated Pool Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledge-partypad.md) - [Multifunctional Park Picnic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-picnic-furniture.md) - [Durable Designer Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r24-collection.md)
