# Stylish Modular Seating Arrangements Benjamin Hubert's Furniture Line is Fashionable & Functional By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-10-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-seating-arrangement References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/benjamin-huberts-tape-modular-seating-adds-an-element-of-fashion/) & [layerdesign](http://layerdesign.com/) Modular seating arrangements have a number of qualities that are incredibly beneficial to high-traffic public spaces and compact living quarters. Designer Benjamin Hubert adds his latest contribution to this category. The pieces are completed in collaboration with Moroso and are debuted in a collection under the name of 'LAYER.' The available modular seating arrangements boast a network of convenience-focused "building blocks" that feature a curved exterior, side pockets for storing objects like magazines, as well as a multi-colored exterior. Consumers are able to create a visually striking display by exercising creativity in their space. The ultra-sleek exterior of the pieces builds on the notions of contemporary design. Moreover, the seating collection can be bound together with polyurethane tape — a feature that is both functional and offers a unique, minimalist-forward detailed embellishment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 70% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modular Seating Arrangements:** The trend of creating seating spaces that can be easily adjusted and reconfigured by end-users or clients creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in modular design and manufacturing. - **Convenience-focused Design:** The trend of adding convenient features, like storage pockets, to furniture pieces creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in furniture design and functionality. - **Minimalist Embellishments:** The trend of adding minimalist embellishments to furniture or home decor creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating functional and aesthetic features in design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can capitalize on modular seating trends by exploring new materials, manufacturing methods, features, and designing pieces that are easy to assemble and configure. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage modular seating arrangements to create flexible and adaptable spaces that offer an appealing and functional environment for clients or residents. - **Retail Design:** The retail design industry can leverage modular seating arrangements with convenient features, such as storage pockets, to enhance the customer experience and create unique and attractive product displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Sofa Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla.md) - [Modular Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-seating.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Systematic Seating Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla-seating-system.md) - [Contemporary Customization Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-benches.md) - [Workplace-Centric Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prostoria.md) - [Modular Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-modular-seating.md) - [Cozy Versatile Sofa Modules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-fjord.md) - [Modular Configured Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet.md)
