Although this may sound like a very specific demographic, it can be argued that almost all modern individuals fall in this category. Designed by Mocoloco, the Present Modular Shelving consists of a pair of [brass plated rails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf) and three [solid walnut shelf elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life) ranging in shape. One takes the form of a cubby, another a traditional shelf and the last a rail. Great for front entrances the Present Modular Shelving also comes with two hooks that can be used for coats. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 18% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modular Shelving for Small Spaces:** Designing customizable and flexible shelving options for smaller living and working spaces. - **Multi-purpose Shelves:** Creating shelves that can serve multiple functions, such as storage, display, and organization. - **Portable Storage Units:** Designing portable and lightweight storage options for modern, active individuals on the go. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Industry:** There is a need for a new line of furniture specifically designed for modern small living spaces. - **Interior Design Industry:** New design trends that focus on multi-purpose furniture and flexible shelving options for small living and working spaces. - **Home and Office Storage Industry:** Creating portable and functional storage options for individuals who need to easily transport their belongings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Configuration Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repisa-01.md) - [Customizable Storage Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelved-modular-furniture.md) - [Modular Contemporary Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv.md) - [Adaptable Flat-Pack Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pack-shelving.md) - [Modern Modular Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelving-unit-01.md) - [Modular Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-modern-shelving.md) - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Flexible Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brickbox-modular-shelving.md)
