The table top is an unconventional round, thick cut of wood that is both spacious and functional. The table top is hollowed out to create a deep, secret compartment that is ideal for tucking books, laptops, magazines, small objects and newspapers entirely out of sight. Standing on three tripod legs, the Tokyo table is creatively balanced and low to the ground. For those who don't enjoy the slight of clutter, the Tokyo coffee table's hidden compartment is a great home decor innovation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 36% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hidden Compartment Furniture:** The trend of hidden compartment furniture is growing, with opportunities for innovative designs that provide new storage solutions. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** The trend of multi-functional furniture is gaining popularity, with opportunities for designing furniture that serves multiple purposes. - **Sustainable Furniture Design:** The trend of sustainable furniture design is gaining momentum, with opportunities for designing furniture that is environmentally friendly and functional. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry could benefit from incorporating hidden compartments, multi-functionality and sustainable materials in their products. - **Interior Design Industry:** The interior design industry can leverage the trend of hidden compartments and multi-functional furniture to offer innovative and space-saving solutions to their clients. - **Home and Office Storage Industry:** The home and office storage industry can explore the trend of hidden compartments in furniture to provide new storage solutions to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Book Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-coffee-table.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Japandi-Style Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-coffee-table.md) - [Bookshelf-Incorporated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overlap-table.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Spinning Storage Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table.md) - [Splintered Storage Console Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flitter-console-table.md) - [Personality-Enhancing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ordo-book.md) - [Paper-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoon-coffee-table.md)
