The products are made out of wool with an old flat-weaving technique, popular in the Middle East. The collection is being launched by [Gan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangas) and contains three modular designs: 'Tetragon,' 'Rhomb' and '[Hexagon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexagon-board-game-trays),' each of which has the option to be transformed into a geometric pouf. While the 2D patterns of octagons and squares in the Tetragon can be folded up into six-sided poufs with eight-sided surfaces and flattened triangular corners, the Hexagon is more uniform and its 2D diamond shapes create a 3D object with 20 sides. The modular rug furniture will not only solve problems at crowded parties and dinners, as the rug itself makes for a fabulous accent to any monochrome surface like concrete or plywood floors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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's Driving This Trend - **Modular Furniture:** The use of modular furniture in homes and offices presents an opportunity for businesses to provide practical and flexible solutions for consumers with changing needs. - **Sustainable Wool:** The increasing popularity of sustainable wool in furniture production presents an opportunity for businesses to create environmentally-friendly products that appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Origami-inspired Designs:** The use of origami-inspired designs in furniture presents an opportunity for businesses to think outside the box and create unique and visually interesting products that set them apart from competitors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The use of modular designs in furniture presents an opportunity for businesses to create innovative and multifunctional products that appeal to a range of consumers. - **Home Decor:** The use of sustainable materials in home decor presents an opportunity for businesses to cater to eco-conscious consumers and reduce their environmental impact. - **Textiles:** The use of origami-inspired designs in textile production presents an opportunity for businesses to create unique and visually interesting products that appeal to a range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Modular Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori.md) - [Rippled Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffa-furniture.md) - [Interchangeable Cushion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morfius-modular-furniture.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Customizable Puzzle-Like Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pent-modular-furniture-system.md) - [Versatile Modular Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformer-couch-20.md) - [Family-Friendly Modular Couches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-v-cloud-modular-couch.md) - [Twin-Piece Modular Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agni-modular.md) - [Space-Saving Modular Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flez-2-modular-sofa-system.md)
