# Transportable Side Tables These Portable Tables by Roee Magdassi Include Handles for Carrying By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-09-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-tables References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/edge-tables-roee-magdassi/) & [magdassi](http://www.magdassi.com/edge) There's certainly no shortage of [portable tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-folding-table) on the market, but this inventive design from Roee Magdassi sets itself apart from others that feature [folding or transformative components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table). Instead, this one simply includes a pop-up handle to help users easily carry it around from one place to another. When the table is ready to sit in a fixed place, the handle can simply be rotated downwards and becomes a decorative element of the design. The 'Edge' [bistro and coffee tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables) are constructed from powder-coated steel and come in pleasing colorways. These furniture pieces fit into a new wave of designs that are adopting elements of nomadic culture to make movements as seamless and as effortless as possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 52% | 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 - **Nomadic Furniture:** Designing furniture with elements of portability and ease of movement for modern, nomadic lifestyles. - **Functional Handles:** Incorporating handles into furniture design, providing both decor and portability benefits to users. - **Powder-coated Steel:** Using lightweight and durable materials like powder-coated steel in furniture design for a modern, sleek aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** Innovative furniture designs that cater to modern, nomadic lifestyles and are lightweight, durable, and functional. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating functional yet stylish home decor pieces like transportable side tables that cater to busy and on-the-go individuals. - **Interior Design:** Using modern materials and nomadic design elements in interior design to create a seamless and effortless living environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Metallic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scissor-side-table.md) - [Moveable Wave-Inspired Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/side-table-concept.md) - [Rolled-Up Wooden Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofan.md) - [Portable Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-glow.md) - [Portable Tray Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taso-tray-table.md) - [Multi-Position Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-side-table.md) - [Compact Folding Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelin-ozbalci.md) - [Multifunctional Magnetic Folding Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-table.md) - [Collapsible Flatpack Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edo-side-table.md)
