The furniture is achieved with a series of [wooden slats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ile-modular-system) that are held together using cable ties rather than screws or nails, which would make it quick for the person to erect themselves. This design would also enable the furniture to be expanded to fit any space and could be deconstructed when moving for a [flatpack ethos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eilersen). The 'Listón' sustainable furniture system is also said to reduce the amount of packaging needed by as much as 18-times the compared to other flatpack furniture designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Sustainable Furniture:** Opportunity for businesses to create customizable and eco-friendly furniture solutions that can be assembled/disassembled with ease and aesthetic appeal using alternative and sustainable materials. - **Modular Furniture Systems:** Opportunity to create furniture solutions that can be easily expanded, contracted, or altered based on consumer needs and preferences through the use of interchangeable components and materials. - **Flexible Packaging Solutions:** Opportunity to reduce waste and improve sustainability by designing packaging that can be easily reused or repurposed to reduce the need for additional packaging for flat-pack furniture products. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Businesses can capitalize on the trend of customizable and flexible furniture by developing sustainable and modular products that cater to the needs and preferences of the consumer. - **Eco-friendly Materials Manufacturing:** Opportunity for businesses to create functional and stylish furniture solutions using alternative sustainable materials like bamboo, recycled plastics, and biodegradable components. - **Packaging Design:** Businesses can improve sustainability and reduce waste by developing flexible packaging solutions for flat-pack furniture products that can be easily repurposed or reused by consumers at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Tool-Free Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xylo-living-modular-furniture-system.md) - [Reconfigurable Modular Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gioco.md) - [Glue-Free Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linumtube.md) - [Stackable Flat-Pack Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1.md) - [Contemporary Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo-system.md) - [Wooden Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deku.md) - [Clippable Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clippable-furniture.md) - [Twin-Piece Modular Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agni-modular.md) - [Customizable Style-Conscious Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledoux-modular-shelf-system.md)
