Most recently, he’s created a concept called The Pillar that saves space in [small living areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanscale-float-micro). The Pillar is a [vertical office desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-desk1) that can be stacked ceiling-high for storage of (you guessed it) [office supplies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firki). George Abdoulas’s design took first place in the Global Design Contest, and is useful home furniture that is both adaptable for small spaces and the needs of the user. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 93% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vertical Office Storage:** The trend of vertical office storage allows for efficient utilization of space in small living areas. - **Adaptable Furniture:** The trend of adaptable furniture caters to the needs of users in small spaces, providing both functionality and flexibility. - **Space-saving Design:** The trend of space-saving design aims to maximize the utility of limited space in small living areas. ### Where This Applies - **Office Furniture:** The office furniture industry can embrace disruptive innovation opportunities by designing and manufacturing vertical storage solutions for small living areas. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can seize disruptive innovation opportunities by creating adaptable furniture designs that cater to the needs of users in small spaces. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating space-saving design concepts into their products, providing practical solutions for small living areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Freestanding Vertical Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workstick.md) - [Stackable Tower Workstation Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyl-desk-organizer.md) - [Storage-Packed Workstation Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-x-shelf-x-self-table.md) - [Ergonomic Multi-Use Desk Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabinett-desk.md) - [Minimalist Storage-Paired Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diag-desk.md) - [Modular Working Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-working-desk.md) - [Elegant Working Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindset-builtin-computer-desk.md) - [Fold-Away Sleek Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-desk.md) - [Minimalist Clutter-Free Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parallel-work-table.md)
