The Abgemahnt [portable tote table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taso-tray-table) by designer Nils Holger Moormann is a [collapsible and flat pack furniture piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1) that is ideal for transporting and setting up in nearly any location.

Unlike a traditional table, the Abgemahnt is designed to be as easily taken apart as it is put together. The furniture piece is made from several simple elements that come together in a quick pinch to create a sturdy surface to hold all sorts of objects, knick-knacks and magazines. The table is made with a wooden block base that attaches to a wired rectangle that comes through the centre of the table top.

With many consumers living on-the-go lifestyles, having furniture that is adaptable and easily flexible to work in new spaces is ideal for millennial home owners.
