# Cushion-Topped Tables The Micomoler Banquete is a Super-Plushy Seat and a Tea Table for Four By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micomoler-banquete References: [micomoler](http://www.micomoler.com/banquete.html) There are two primary ways in which to use the Micomoler Banquete, one accommodating just one person, and another, up to four. The piece of furniture comprises a lovely pale wooden bench with a [shallow drawer for storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taarof-table); it stands low to the ground on four little legs. In its most compact form, this adorable ottoman has [flat pillows stacked up on top](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sander-series) of it and a pair of red belt-like straps to hold them in place. In this arrangement, one can use the Micomoler Banquete like a plushy stool. Alternatively, the bolsters can be removed and placed around the now-bare surface. The object is thus transformed into a [coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table), easily accessed by those sitting on the cushions on the floor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Multi-functional Furniture:** The Micomoler Banquete's ability to transform from a seat to a table highlights the trend towards furniture that serves multiple purposes. - **Comfortable Seating:** The Micomoler Banquete's cushion-topped design and plush pillows exemplify the trend towards comfortable seating options. - **Low-to-the-ground Furniture:** The Micomoler Banquete's short legs and proximity to the ground showcase the trend towards furniture that sits lower to the ground for a more casual aesthetic. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the furniture industry could create similar products that transform from a seat to a table to meet the growing demand for multi-functional furniture. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate more cushion-topped furniture and lower-to-the-ground designs to meet their client's demands for comfortable and casual living spaces. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the trend towards comfortable, multi-functional furniture by stocking options like the Micomoler Banquete and marketing them to consumers seeking versatile home furnishings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Stool-Integrated Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quartet-side-table.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Supportive Gamer Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/large-cushion-table-bht700c.md) - [Bent Multi-Functional Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shell-table.md) - [Table-Equipped Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migo-chair.md) - [Leather Strap Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacked-bench.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Dual-Sided Storage Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-stool-system.md)
