Named after the Portuguese word for 'cork stopper,' the table top acts as the stopper while each of the three legs can be likened to a wine opener. This is mainly due to the fact that the [seat is made out of cork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-for-the-trees) while the legs are secured with corkscrews rather than regular screws. Designed by Portuguese product designer Gonçalo Campos, the Rolha Side Table boasts a simple organic aesthetic, that will allow it to blend into any living space. Not only is the Rolha Side Table [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa), it is also incredibly functional. The legs screw on and off easily to allow people to transport or store it with absolute ease. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop furniture designs and materials that prioritize sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as using cork as a renewable resource. - **Functional Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create furniture that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, with easy assembly and disassembly for convenience. - **Inspired by Tradition:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional elements with modern design to create unique and culturally rich furniture pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and production techniques to create sustainable and versatile furniture pieces for the market. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce furniture designs that prioritize both style and functionality, catering to consumers looking for unique and functional pieces. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with designers and architects to create furniture that seamlessly integrates with various interior design styles, appealing to a wide range of customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cork Coaster-Integrated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table.md) - [Cork-Made Occasional Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-tk.md) - [Stylish Storage-Equipped Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basso-side-table.md) - [Sustainable Chrome Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-collection.md) - [Versatile Curvaceous Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proust.md) - [Architect-Inspired Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norm-architects1.md) - [Cork Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guillaume-delvigne.md) - [Stackable Cork-Made Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-cork-seating.md) - [Stackable Cork-Like Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drum-stool-1.md)
