Instead of heading to [Ikea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-rdmans-series) or the local hardware shop, people can purchase this piece of furniture online and assemble it without breaking a sweat. Putting up this simple shelving is comparable to hanging a picture, or so Fast Co Design puts it. Designed by Evan Clabots and Louis Filosa, the simple shelving was created for the e-commerce site Fab.com. It comes with a [sleek wooden surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-series) that is held up by two stylish nylon straps. Available in natural wood and black paint finishes, the simple shelving sets are incredibly affordable as well. With its subtly casual aesthetic, it would make a great piece of furniture for college dorm rooms and other student haunts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Simplified Furniture:** The trend of simple, easy-to-assemble furniture offers disruptive innovation opportunities to streamline the furniture buying and assembly process for consumers. - **Online Shopping:** The trend of online shopping for furniture creates disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to offer convenient, accessible, and affordable furniture options. - **Minimalist Design:** The trend of minimalist design in furniture provides disruptive innovation opportunities to create sleek, functional, and affordable furniture pieces for modern consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry can leverage the trend of simplified furniture and online shopping to offer a seamless and convenient furniture buying experience for customers. - **Home Improvement:** The home improvement industry can tap into the trend of simplified furniture and minimalist design to offer innovative and easy-to-install shelving options for homeowners. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can embrace the trend of minimalist design and simplified furniture to create stylish and functional spaces using easily customizable shelving solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Japanese Woodwork-Inspired Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altitude-shelving.md) - [Adaptable Flat-Pack Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pack-shelving.md) - [Customizable Style-Conscious Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledoux-modular-shelf-system.md) - [Dynamic Storage-Display Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life.md) - [Modular Organized Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unit-shelving-system.md) - [Folding Steel Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Modular Grid-Style Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bend-shelf-by-spenser-atlas.md) - [Award-Winning Modular Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-shelving-system1.md)
