# Elaborate Botanical Bookcases Nautinox Greenbook is a Storage System that Doubles as an Espalier By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-10-13 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nautinox-greenbook References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/50269/) & [nautinoxliving.it](http://nautinoxliving.it/greenbook2.html) [Two-in-one furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table) can be incredibly wonderful things, saving you space and inspiring your sense of imagination. The Nautinox Greenbook is an interesting mix of two very different objects, effectively combining to create a [hybrid shelf and indoor trellis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo). The aesthetic design of the piece is a slightly complex one that comprises a [brick-like grid of stacked metal frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf). This structure wraps around the sides and the back of the bookshelf and completely encompasses the base. Painted white to match the cage around it, a compartment in the bottom of the shelving unit presumably acts as a planter. Climbing greenery such as vines are ideal choices for decorating the back of the Nautinox Greenbook so that the stems instinctively ascend and wrap around the entire thing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Two-in-one Furnishings:** Businesses could develop new multifunctional products that save space and spark creativity in consumers. - **Hybrid Storage Solutions:** Innovative designers could create unique storage systems that incorporate unlikely elements to serve more than one purpose. - **Indoor Trellises:** As more people seek to bring nature indoors, there is potential for businesses to create decorative and functional trellises for climbing plants. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Furniture companies could explore the development of multifunctional products that can save space and offer unique design features. - **Home Decor:** Home decor businesses could invest in creating indoor trellises that serve both a decorative and functional purpose for plant enthusiasts. - **Gardening:** The gardening industry could expand its product offerings to include indoor climbing plants and trellises that are specifically designed for home interiors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Greenery Bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-propagation-bookend.md) - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Handle-Equipped Planter Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-plant-shelf.md) - [Expandable Bookcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burrow-index-bookcase.md) - [Furniture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-garden-system.md) - [Sculptural Bookshelves Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bookshelf.md) - [Versatile Office Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combus-shelving-system.md) - [Sliding Wintery Landscape Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manhwabang-bookshelf.md) - [Bookcase-Equipped Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/low-wall-side-table.md)
