# Drawstring Side Tables The Line Up Table Combines Resourceful Functionality and Composition By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-up-table References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2013/05/Line-Up.html) & [kostapamporis](http://www.kostapamporis.com/line-up/) The most notable aspect of the Line Up Table's assembly is its curious [rope-bound supports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entwined-objects). The [low coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-table) has four rounded legs that angle out from beneath the center of the surface. These are wrapped in strings that feed through holes in the tabletop. The eccentric item looks as though it might be configured to facilitate height adjustments, perhaps according do the tension of the neon-yellow cords. If this is a feature of the Line Up Table, it isn't explained by designers Kosta Pamporis and Florian Schulz. What is addressed, however, is the manufacturing of the object. All of the sawdust that comes from producing the [timber supports of the coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels-coffee-table) is mixed into the concrete of the rectangular surface. This makes for a low-waste and lightweight piece of furniture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - 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 - **Rope-bound Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture companies to explore innovative ways of using ropes as a structural element in their designs. - **Height-adjustable Tables:** Potential for companies to develop tables with adjustable height based on tension-generated mechanisms. - **Sustainable Materials Integration:** Chance for manufacturers to incorporate waste materials into their products, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Incorporation of rope-bound supports and height-adjustable features in furniture designs can disrupt the traditional furniture manufacturing industry. - **Interior Design:** Rope-bound tables with height-adjustable features offer interior designers a unique element to incorporate into their designs, adding functionality and visual interest. - **Sustainable Construction:** Integration of sawdust into concrete surfaces presents opportunities for the construction industry to explore sustainable building materials and methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simplistic Wooden Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nuo.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Luxe Low-Slung Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attraction-coffee-table.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md) - [Adjustable Side Table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turno.md) - [Pointed Foundation Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donatas-ukauskas.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md)
