The [Stack Buffet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stack-furniture-collection) is still quite a postmodern piece that would perhaps be of more interest to a younger generation. Once you've taken in the usual composition of the ash wood or walnut console, you might begin to wonder about the function of the [piled planks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-pile) that add such weight to one side. Naturally, this feature needs not actually serve a practical purpose, for it successfully intrigues the observer by mere appearance. However, Esrawe Studio has hidden a pair of drawers in this part of the Stack Buffet. The mass is actually hollow and reinforces the object's bonus value as an [efficient storage system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-modern-shelving). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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 - **Asymmetrical Home Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture companies to create postmodern furniture that appeals to a younger generation with unique, asymmetrical designs. - **False Structure Design:** Opportunity for designers to create furniture with a false stacked structure that adds weight and intrigue to the object while also providing bonus value as efficient storage. - **Hidden Storage Systems:** Opportunity for furniture companies to incorporate hidden compartments or drawers in furniture designs to add bonus value and functionality for consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate postmodern, asymmetrical furniture designs in their projects to appeal to younger generations. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create furniture with a false stacked structure and hidden storage systems to provide unique, functional pieces for consumers. - **Home Storage Solutions:** Opportunity for companies that focus on home storage solutions to collaborate with furniture manufacturers and designers to create furniture pieces that offer efficient storage options for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curvaceous Storage-Packed Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embrace-sideboard.md) - [Curved Base Plywood Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-embrace-sideboard.md) - [Nature-Inspired Mesmerizing Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genipadu-sideboard.md) - [Twisting CGI-Designed Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookscrew-sideboard.md) - [Twisted Wooden Boxed Sideboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deniz-aktay.md) - [Asymmetrical Storage Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossbred-side-table.md) - [Leather Strap Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacked-bench.md) - [Puzzling Geometric Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linked-side-table.md) - [Balanced Freestanding Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-series.md)
