These Montis TOR Tables take this concept to their core as [lightweight elevated surfaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosi) that can be relocated from couch to corner to armchair with a simple lift and placement. Lambie & Van Hengel designed the clever stools with sufficiently large handles built into their tops. The assembly of the furnishings is quite visually appealing in the way that two opposite legs of the stand seem to push through the surface and connect to form the handgrip above. The Montis TOR Tables come in a selection of [charming pastel colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables) and incorporate [slightly raised rims](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taarof-table) to keep items from toppling off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Transportable Furniture:** The trend of portable furniture creates ample disruptive innovation opportunities in the home goods industry to provide customers with effortless and flexible arrangements. - **Functional Design:** The functional design trend for furniture pieces like the Montis TOR Tables offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the furniture industry by introducing more practicality and convenience for the average consumer. - **Modular Interior Design:** Modular interior design trend is an opportunity for furniture companies to meet the needs of modern minimalistic consumers with trendy and versatile furniture pieces such as Montis TOR Tables. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Goods:** Home goods industry can leverage transportable furniture trend to produce convenient and customizable pieces that offer versatility of interior design. - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can use functional design trend to create multifunctional and moveable furniture pieces, providing consumers with a practical and efficient living space. - **Interior Design:** Interior design industry can capitalize on the modular interior design trend by incorporating flexible furniture pieces like Montis TOR Tables, enabling them to create unique and customizable spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Tray Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taso-tray-table.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Moveable Wave-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-table-concept.md) - [Sleek Metallic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scissor-side-table.md) - [Impactful Industrial Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/to-steel-side-table.md) - [Home Mobility Accessible Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capella-design.md) - [Dual-Position Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-design-concept.md) - [Modular Flat-Pack Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-side-table.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md)
