This is quite the feat, especially when it comes to the shoe rack. For the cabinet, that is only expected. Designed by Simon Legald, a 2012 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, the Normann Copenhagen 2013 collection was recently presented during Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy, last week. The Kabino credenza and Sko shoe rack are part of a larger line of furniture, nevertheless they blend in seamlessly. Made out of [ash and steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfso-1), the design is simple enough that it would be hard-pressed not to. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Ambient Storage Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create storage furniture that adds to the ambiance of a home rather than detracting from it. - **Simplistic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop furniture designs that are simple yet visually appealing. - **Seamless Blending:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Engineer furniture pieces that seamlessly blend with the overall interior design of a space. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and techniques to create innovative and visually appealing furniture designs. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce furniture pieces that enhance the overall aesthetic of an interior space. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop storage furniture that becomes a decorative element in a home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptable Modular Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobuko-shelving.md) - [Modular Configured Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet.md) - [Sleek Adaptable Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vig-collection.md) - [Minimal Warm Furniture Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karimoku-case.md) - [Thoughtful Wheeling Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet-on-wheels.md) - [Balanced Freestanding Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-series.md) - [Sandbox-Like Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet1.md) - [Progressive Storage Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledoux-prt-collection.md) - [Storage-Centric Minimal Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurve-furniture.md) - [Elevated Everyday Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamo.md)
