# Table Book Cubbies The Nook Coffee Table from Dave Pickett By Michael Hines | Published 2011-01-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-coffee-table References: [bornrich.org](http://www.bornrich.org/entry/nook-coffee-table-by-dave-pickett-with-an-integrated-bookshelf/) & [david-pickett](http://www.david-pickett.com/work/furniture/8191901) Dave Pickett's Nook Coffee Table may change the way you see coffee tables forever. I can't help but think of my coffee table as an inferior waste of space. That's the power of the Nook. The Nook Coffee Table is design at its best. By adding a simple nook Pickett has created something completely new yet undeniably familiar. Currently the Nook Coffee Table is just a concept, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it wind up on an Ikea showroom floor sooner rather than later. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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's Driving This Trend - **Coffee Table Innovation:** The Nook Coffee Table demonstrates the potential for reimagining and enhancing the traditional coffee table design. - **Space-saving Furniture:** The Nook Coffee Table addresses the issue of wasted space by incorporating a simple nook, inspiring a trend in space-saving furniture. - **Functional Design:** The Nook Coffee Table exemplifies the growing demand for furniture that combines aesthetics with practicality, opening new opportunities for functional design in the industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The Nook Coffee Table introduces a disruptive innovation in furniture design, indicating potential opportunities for manufacturers to create unique, space-saving pieces. - **Interior Design:** The Nook Coffee Table offers interior designers an innovative solution to optimize space usage, paving the way for more creative and efficient designs within homes and commercial spaces. - **Home Improvement Retail:** The Nook Coffee Table's potential availability in mainstream stores like Ikea presents an opportunity for retailers to tap into the demand for modern, functional furniture that maximizes space in homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bookshelf-Incorporated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overlap-table.md) - [Artful Coffee Table Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertushka.md) - [Curvaceous Animalistic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookpet-coffee-table.md) - [Paper-Like Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoon-coffee-table.md) - [Personality-Enhancing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ordo-book.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Fluid Topographic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dune-table.md) - [Cork Coaster-Integrated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table.md) - [Puzzle-Style Inclusive Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-furniture.md)
