# Folding Sawhorse Tables Trestle Legs Table is the Short-on-Cash Solution to Small Spaces By Meghan Young | Published 2009-09-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trestle-legs-table References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2009/09/24/the-trestle-legs-table-by-undpartnerpunktat/) & [undpartner.at](http://www.undpartner.at/index.php/undpartner/work/done/) I know a guy (honestly, not a friend of a friend, but an actual friend) who could have sorely used the Trestle Legs Table. For almost half a year after moving into his bachelor pad, he converted one of his moving cardboard boxes into a table. Imagine what six months would do to a not-so-sturdy or easily-cleanable cardboard box. Yikes! Austrian design studio undpartner(punkt)at’s Barbara Gollackner and Michael Walder have devised a simple solution to this universal problem of little space and/or money: the Trestle Legs Table. According to the designers it “hardly [needs] any space when not in use, [is] easy to put up, and with [its] straps can even be hung on the wall—a universe of design away [from] the dusty sawhorses in your Granddad’s workshop.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Small Space Solutions:** Designing furniture that maximizes small spaces will continue to be a trend in the furniture industry. - **Minimalist Design:** Minimalist design that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing will continue to gain popularity in the furniture industry. - **Customizable Furniture:** The ability to customize furniture to fit specific needs and spaces will continue to be a trend in the furniture industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Innovative furniture designs that solve common small space problems will benefit from the trend towards urbanization and smaller living spaces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers who can provide creative solutions to small space constraints will be in high demand. - **Home Organization:** Companies that provide home organization solutions for small spaces will benefit from the trend towards minimalist living. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Conscious Cafe Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-cafe-table.md) - [Compact Outdoor Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-1.md) - [Collapsible Flatpack Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edo-side-table.md) - [High-Strength Accordion Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-side-table.md) - [Rolled-Up Wooden Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofan.md) - [Simplistic Wooden Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nuo.md) - [Hardware-Free Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurt-table.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md) - [Portable Compact Worktables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidekick-work-bench.md)
