# Picnic Table Desks BuzziPicNic by Alain Gilles is a Modern Communal Workspace By Meghan Young | Published 2014-08-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picnic-table-desk References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/indoor-picnic-tables-work-gathering-eating-play/) & [buzzispace](http://www.buzzispace.com/products/buzzipicnic) BuzziPicNic is a picnic table desk that brings a bit of the outdoors inside for those who would rather be frolicking in a park than toiling away in front of a computer. Although it can't change the activities involved, it does provide a more casual ambiance for those who work better under relaxed conditions. Designed by Alain Gilles for [BuzziSpace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubs-of-togetherness), the picnic table desk takes on a modern aesthetic as well. Although still made out of wooden slabs, the mid-section splits apart so that one side can be raised like a bar. This provides an informal setting that nevertheless doesn't impede on privacy too much. The picnic table desk is also available in more standard rectangular and round sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 82% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Outdoor-inspired Workspaces:** Opportunity for creating workspaces that replicate the ambiance and aesthetics of outdoor environments. - **Casual Office Furniture:** Opportunity for designing office furniture that promotes a more relaxed and informal work atmosphere. - **Modular Workstations:** Opportunity for creating versatile and customizable workstations that can adapt to different work styles and preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop and produce furniture that merges outdoor elements with office functionality. - **Co-working Spaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to design co-working spaces that incorporate picnic table desks to cater to diverse work preferences. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to incorporate picnic table desks and other casual office furniture into interior design projects for commercial spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soft-Sided Cocoon Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddyhub-desk.md) - [Collaborative Playful Bright Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picnic-series.md) - [Modular Play-Friendly Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-concept.md) - [Modular Working Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-working-desk.md) - [Scooter-Like Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-work-station.md) - [Sound-Absorbing Cozy Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddyhub.md) - [Modern Portable Work Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worknic.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Multilevel Minimalist Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-office-table.md)
