Basically, it is a chair that tucks away into a book. That's right, I said a book. It also appears to be as comfortable as it is cute. Think about all the space you will save, when your [extra seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patan-chair) is safely tucked away on your bookshelf. Check out the video of the 'Take A Seat' if you don't believe me. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Concealed Furniture:** Opportunity for creating more collapsible, multi-functional furniture designs that can be easily stored in small spaces. - **Hidden Storage:** Potential for designing creative storage solutions that blend in with existing home decor, such as chair/bookshelf hybrids. - **Space-saving Seating:** Innovative designs for seating that can be easily stored and accessed when needed in small apartments, offices, and other compact environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore the potential for reusable, space-saving designs that cater to small space home decor needs. - **Interior Design:** Designers can incorporate clever furniture designs that blend function with form to maximize space and merge aesthetics with functionality. - **Office Supplies:** Designing office equipment that also doubles up as functional office furniture can lead to space saving and creative design solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storage-Friendly Origami Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kerf.md) - [Antitheft Storage Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afford-chair.md) - [Storage-Attached Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-chair.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md) - [Discreet Folding Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf.md) - [Industrial Light-Equipped Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-light-chair.md) - [Cozy Storage-Focused Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pocket-chair.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-chair-design.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md)
