From there, that island can become bigger or smaller depending on environment, the Tombolo Sectional plays on that versatility, but in a more deliberate manner. Hailed for its allowance of infinite floor plan flexibility, it is a smart seating option perfect for many public spaces including lounges and foyers. Designed by MostModest for HighTower, the Tombolo Sectional it has a modern minimalist aesthetic that is complemented with a sleek metal and wood base. It also comes with integrated side tables for added functionality. The Tombolo Sectional is available in a number of colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 18% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Infinite Floor Plan Flexibility:** Innovative furniture designs that allow for infinite floor plan flexibility. - **Minimalist Aesthetic:** Minimalist furniture designs that incorporate sleek and modern aesthetics. - **Integrated Functionality:** Furniture designs that incorporate integrated functionality for added convenience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** Furniture industry can benefit from creating innovative designs that offer infinite floor plan flexibility, minimalist aesthetics and integrated functionality. - **Interior Design:** Interior design industry can create functional and stylish spaces that incorporate furniture designs with infinite floor plan flexibility, minimalist aesthetics and integrated functionality. - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry can create comfortable and functional spaces for guests utilizing furniture designs that offer infinite floor plan flexibility, minimalist aesthetics and integrated functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Arab Majlis-Inspired Modular Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insula.md) - [Sculptural Lounge Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biboni-sofa.md) - [Modular Sofa Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla.md) - [Modular Bulbous Lounge Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-modular-lounge.md) - [Modular Liberating Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aire-modular.md) - [Modular Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-seating.md) - [Arab Hospotality-Inspired Modular Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insula-sofa.md) - [Dynamic Modular Sofa Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twiggy.md) - [Rounded Modular Sofa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smooth-sofa.md)
