# Tablet-Embedded Desks Multi Table Allows for iPad Integration within the Work Surface By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-07-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-table-by-kogrodesign References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/New-Multi-Table-series-with-iPad-inserts-up-to-16-iPads/1096405) & [kogrodesign.nl](http://www.kogrodesign.nl/) A boardroom full of laptop computers with fans whirring away and screens creating clutter amidst the conference table may not be the most efficient way to run a meeting. The Multi Table by Kogrodesign, however, suggests that the use of the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maghub-3) [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kolude-stand) would better suit the sorts of tasks one demands of office electronics under such circumstances. It is expected then, that the company may provide tablets to its executives, for their shared use during seminars, presentations, workshops and discussions. As a way to protect these expensive devices from theft, spilt coffee and other possible damage, this collection of [boardroom tables and desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair) is the ideal choice. Made from either Melamini or Corian, such surfaces can be manufactured to take a number of sleek forms and arrangements. In addition, up to 16 iPad security inserts can be placed within the larger models of the Multi Table by Kogrodesign. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tablet-embedded Desks:** Opportunity for integrating tablets directly into office desks, making it easier for professionals to use and protect their devices. - **Shared Tablet Usage:** Trend towards providing executives with tablets for shared use during meetings, presentations, workshops, and discussions. - **Enhanced Office Furniture:** Growing demand for office furniture that is designed to accommodate and protect expensive electronic devices like tablets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can capitalize on the growing market for office furniture that incorporates tablet integration and security features. - **Technology Hardware:** Opportunity for technology hardware companies to develop innovative security inserts and accessories for integrating tablets into office furniture. - **Conference Room Equipment:** Companies specializing in conference room equipment can offer tablet-embedded desks as a solution for more efficient and organized meetings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multipurpose Lifestyle Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iscream-homelearn-book.md) - [Subtly Smart Dining Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etto-table.md) - [Three-in-One Tablet Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kolude-stand.md) - [Subtle Tech-Infused Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koble-tori-40.md) - [Minimalist Clutter-Free Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parallel-work-table.md) - [Multifuntional Modular Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table.md) - [OLED Screen-Equipped Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumina-desk.md) - [Verstaile Tablet Docking Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maghub-3.md) - [Multifunctional Projection Mobile Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmus-mobile-desk.md)
