# Hidden Hinged Shelving This Seating System with Bookshelf is an Efficient Reading Recliner By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-07-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seating-system-with-bookshelf References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/seating-system-with-book-shelf-by-anoop-joseph/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/anoopjoseph) Why would you fill a cramped room with two pieces of furniture when one can accomplish the pair of tasks? The Modular Seating System with Bookshelf acts as both a cabinet and an armchair and comes with a coffee table that houses even more storage space. The L-shaped lounger is made of smoothly sanded wood and enhanced with an upholstered seat, backrest and forearm supports. A fine break that sections it from front to back can be pulled to reveal two sets of four ledges inside the body of the object that can hold your [collection of novels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reading-nooks) and other miscellaneous possessions. Anoop Joseph's Modular Seating System with Book Shelf is ideal for those who prefer to banish clutter from view. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 Multifunctional Furniture:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop furniture that combines multiple functions in one piece to optimize small spaces. - **Hidden Storage Solutions:** There is an opportunity for companies to create furniture with hidden storage spaces to cater to the needs of consumers who value organization and minimalism. - **Sustainable Material Use in Furniture:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop furniture using sustainable materials to cater to the needs of environmentally-conscious consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers can explore the use of versatile designs and sustainable materials to create innovative and functional pieces that cater to the changing needs of consumers. - **Home Organization:** Home organization companies can incorporate hidden storage solutions into their products to cater to consumers who value minimalism and organization in their living spaces. - **Green Living:** Companies in the green living industry can explore the use of sustainable materials in furniture to cater to the needs of environmentally-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Customizable Storage Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelved-modular-furniture.md) - [Bookcase-Equipped Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/low-wall-side-table.md) - [Expandable Bookcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burrow-index-bookcase.md) - [Modular Configuration Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repisa-01.md) - [Multifunctional Layered Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n15-layered-furniture.md) - [All-in-One Modular Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezy-sofa.md) - [Bookshelf-Incorporated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overlap-table.md)
