The [pull-down system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saveit) easily fits into existing cabinets and allows for any cupboard to become a dual-purpose space. While the bottom half of the cabinet is being used, the iMove fits on top to add another shelf with a handle that can be pulled down for easy access. The system is made with dual reinforcing hinges that provide a slow and smooth retractable feature. This allows children to reach the handle, pull down the shelf and retrieve whatever they need. This handy storage device can be used in kitchens, bedrooms or garages to increase existing storage spaces. In addition, these [shelving units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv) are available in numerous colors to fit any style or preference. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Dual-purpose Spaces:** The iMove shelf allows for any cupboard to become a dual-purpose space, opening up opportunities for products that enable more functionality in existing storage spaces. - **Child-friendly Design:** The iMove uses slow and smooth retractable feature and a child-friendly design, inspiring opportunities for products that make previously difficult home functionalities more accessible to children. - **Customizable Shelving:** The iMove shelving units are available in numerous colors to fit any style or preference, highlighting possibilities for products that offer customizable shelving options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Storage Solutions:** The iMove shelf is designed to increase the functionality of existing storage spaces, indicating opportunities for innovation in the home storage solutions industry. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The iMove can easily be installed into existing cabinets, pointing to opportunities for innovation in the furniture manufacturing industry to create easily installable and functional home products. - **Child-safety Products:** The iMove's child-friendly design presents possibilities for innovation in the child-safety products industry to make previously difficult home functionalities more accessible to children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md) - [Modern Convertible Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blendend.md) - [Discreet Folding Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf.md) - [Folding Steel Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf.md) - [Cabinet-Style Kitchen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next125-pocket-system.md) - [Living Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treevive.md) - [Compact Steel Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multidrawer.md) - [Playful Rotating Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giralot-rotating-storage.md) - [Adaptable Flat-Pack Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pack-shelving.md)
