This is a little circular ledge that can accommodate a few small possessions, and it can be installed in a wide variety of spots. Designed by Michael Hilgers and produced by Rephorm, this [parasitic side table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cling-stool) simply latches onto existing furnishings and architectural elements that rise vertically with a thickness of no more than 4 centimeters. A slot in the round panel enables it to be slipped around shelves, beds, desks and partitions at your desired height. The tiny Phungus Clamp Table might be useful as a [supplementary coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table), a [bedside table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table) or a ledge for holding ornaments. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **Parasitic Furniture:** Creating furniture that can latch onto existing furnishings and architectural elements opens up opportunities for innovative space-saving solutions. - **Modular Surfaces:** Designing modular surfaces that can be easily installed in a wide variety of spots offers flexibility and customization options for consumers. - **Multipurpose Design:** Developing furniture that serves multiple functions, such as a supplementary coffee table, bedside table, or ledge, allows for maximized utility in small spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore the development of parasitic furniture and modular surfaces to cater to the growing demand for space-saving solutions. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate parasitic furniture and modular surfaces into their designs, offering clients versatile and customizable options for optimizing their living spaces. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can create multipurpose furniture pieces that can be used as a coffee table, bedside table, or ledge, appealing to consumers looking for practical and versatile home decor solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wall-Mounted Two-Legged Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instable-side-table.md) - [Stunning Mushroom-Shaped Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroomshaped-table-lamp.md) - [Playful Accent Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-table.md) - [Mycelium-Based Artful Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ephemeral-table.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Splintered Storage Console Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flitter-console-table.md) - [Mushroom-Constructed Room Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mush-room.md) - [Multifunctional Magnetic Folding Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-table.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md)
