The 2018 furniture capsule is appropriately dubbed 'The [Bento Tray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woof-dog-bowl)' and its convenient modular design accommodates any type of living situation — from micro-apartments to minimalist house interiors. The minimalist and elegant stackable tables can be configured in a variety of ways. This is not only space-economic, but it also allows for the furniture piece to adapt functionally. OSW boasts its contemporary design in four sizes with the smaller examples providing an ideal surface for a mini working space or a dining tray for one, while the larger can be used for a wider variety of purposes — a coffee table, for example. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 Modern Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to design and manufacture modular furniture that can adapt to different living situations. - **Asian-inspired Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Fuse Asian design elements with contemporary aesthetics to create unique and functional furniture pieces. - **Space-economic Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative furniture designs that maximize space utilization while maintaining style and functionality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement advanced manufacturing techniques to create customizable and adaptable furniture solutions. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate modular furniture designs into interior spaces to enhance flexibility and optimize space. - **Micro-apartment Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design compact and versatile furniture solutions specifically tailored for micro-apartments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Flat-Pack Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-side-table.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Portable Tray Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taso-tray-table.md) - [Modular Configured Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet.md) - [Colorful Contemporary Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Stackable Flat-Pack Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1.md) - [Perplexingly Angular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadashi-side-table.md) - [Planet-Conscious Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn.md)
