# Diagonal Accordion Shelves These Prismatic Shelves by Stephanie Hornig are Stretchable by Desire By Simal Yilmaz | Published 2013-02-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stephanie-hornig References: [artnau](http://www.artnau.com/2013/02/set-by-stephanie-hornig/) & [stephaniehornig](http://www.stephaniehornig.com/Set) These [prismatic shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf) by Stephanie Hornig are extremely useful and space-efficient. They can be stretched in and out to suit a variety of spacial needs and be used in three different positions. "Inspired by braided structures I aimed to design objects that could create a two or three dimensional pattern that is stretchable. The resulting [shelving system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozey) is based on the principle of a scissors grid with extended axes to make room for shelves," explains the designer. This [highly customizable design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumba) is perfect for student housing for people who tend to move a lot or want to save some valuable space. It can also suit different types of rooms and space restrictions and be used for decorative purposes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stretchable Shelving Systems:** The trend of stretchable shelving systems allows for customization and adaptability in various spatial needs. - **Space-efficient Furniture:** The trend of space-efficient furniture designs addresses the growing need for maximizing living spaces and accommodating urban living. - **Customizable Home Decor:** The trend of customizable home decor offers opportunities for personalized and adaptable design solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can explore disruptive innovation by incorporating stretchable shelving systems into their product offerings. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage space-efficient furniture designs to create functional and aesthetically pleasing living environments. - **Home Decor Retail:** Home decor retailers can capitalize on the trend of customizable home decor by offering a range of personalized design solutions to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Dynamic Storage-Display Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life.md) - [Folding Steel Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Modern Convertible Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blendend.md) - [Modular Grid-Style Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bend-shelf-by-spenser-atlas.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Modular Configuration Shelving Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/repisa-01.md) - [Adaptable Flat-Pack Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-pack-shelving.md)
