The design at first appears to be an unassuming stool, but it is actually a [storage space and side table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table) as well. This is the ultimate little workstation, as it offers big bang for your buck. Designed by Geoffrey Graven, who brought us the [Tennis Players' Bench](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roland-garros-tennis-players-bench), the Tandem furniture piece is much more versatile and less sport-specific. Perfect for small spaces, the Tandem furniture piece swivels for modular convenience. The white oak piece has a core that boasts aluminum elements to provide some extra strength and sturdiness, which is good considering all the work this seat, desk and storage unit does. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 Furniture Design:** The Tandem furniture piece showcases the trend of modular furniture design, offering versatility and convenience in small spaces. - **Multifunctional Home Furnishings:** The Tandem furniture piece is part of the trend of multifunctional home furnishings, combining a seat, storage space, and side table into one compact design. - **Integration of Storage in Furniture:** The Tandem furniture piece exemplifies the trend of integrating storage solutions into furniture, providing users with both functionality and style. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can leverage the trend of modular furniture design to create innovative and space-saving products. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can explore the trend of multifunctional home furnishings to create efficient and aesthetically pleasing living spaces. - **Home Organization:** The home organization industry can capitalize on the trend of integrating storage in furniture by offering innovative solutions for maximizing storage space in homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Workspace Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-stool-design.md) - [Transforming Stool-Integrated Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quartet-side-table.md) - [Intuitive Entryway Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-front-stool.md) - [Dual-Function Seating Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-stool.md) - [Dual-Sided Storage Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-stool-system.md) - [Mobile Seat-Storage Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-mobile-unit.md) - [Colorful Dual-Purpose Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s1-stool.md) - [Wooden Twin Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md)
