The Nouvelle Vague is certainly one-up on your cracked plastic laundry basket in looks, plus it incorporates the convenient functionality of a [coatrack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto). Lisa Hilland's elegant design is assembled from strips of ash wood, forming a six-legged frame that tapers slightly towards the top and incorporates a circular surface halfway up. Creating a bit of a pannier about the upper portion, sinuous timbers act like netting, exuding a formal grace. The pointed tips function well as pegs so that you can sling accessories and various articles over the edge of the Nouvelle Vague, [storing soiled or clean garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-lab-launbot) within it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Elevated Laundry Storage:** Designing laundry storage solutions with an emphasis on aesthetics and multi-functionality to add value beyond traditional storage solutions. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** Designing furniture meant for specific tasks that can be repurposed for everyday use to cater to smaller living spaces. - **Sustainable Use of Materials:** Exploring alternative material use for furniture that is eco-friendly, easy to manufacture and visually appealing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Incorporating multi-functionality and alternative material use to cater to small living spaces and eco-conscious customers - **Home Organization and Storage:** Designing innovative, space-saving storage solutions with attractive designs to cater to customers looking for more home organization options. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating designer, aesthetic furniture like the Nouvelle Vague into wider interior design options for modern, minimalist home décor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Efficient Drying Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceefficient-drying.md) - [Demure Dual-Compartment Laundry Hampers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joseph-joseph-tota.md) - [Tripod-Like Garment Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-coat-rack.md) - [Fragrance-Defusing Hanger Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ploud-hanger.md) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Air-Circulating Laundry Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clothes-drying-rack-concept.md) - [Compact Laundry-Hanging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangdrying-system.md) - [Thin-Wood Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger.md) - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md)
