This way offices can conveniently flip their workspace from a cubicle layout to open concept with one set of furniture. As offices become more and more fluid it makes sense that they have decor pieces that can serve more than one functionality. The [Herman Miler Metaform Portfolio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-oe1) is a furniture collection that features a variety of [stackable blocks, surfaces, tools and boundaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco) for offices to design their own workplace space. The various decor pieces can be used to create cubicle spaces for individual work as well as open concept floors that are great for team-oriented projects. All workers have to do is simply rearrange the furniture into whatever layout suits them best. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customizable Workplace Furniture:** The trend of customizable and flexible furniture for offices to create versatile workplaces. - **Multi-functional Workplace Decor:** The trend of creating decor pieces that can serve more than one functionality in an evolving office space. - **Modular Workspace Solutions:** The trend of building modular and stackable furniture pieces that can be easily rearranged for various workplace set-ups. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create customizable, multi-functional and modular designs that can adapt to changing office needs. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate flexible and versatile furniture pieces into workspace design that align with an evolving workforce. - **Office Supplies and Services:** Opportunity for office suppliers to provide furniture solutions that support a flexible and adaptable workspace design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Modular Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunon-furniture-mixcube.md) - [Hybrid Worker Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-oe1.md) - [Mountainous Modular Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summit-furniture.md) - [Customizable Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelcase-flex-personal-spaces.md) - [Vibrant Versatile Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-now-1.md) - [Contemporary Dynamic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officetopia.md) - [Modular Work Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mespace-workstation.md) - [People-Pleasing Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle-system.md) - [Hyper-Customizable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercustomizable-desk.md)
