The brand offers a range of [minimalist, stylish and modern designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/news-collection). Peninsula Furniture's current collection consists of just two pieces — both boast a clean-cut and elegant aesthetic and are [made with Tasmanian oak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-storage).
