With back to school just around the corner, the September 2017 modern trends include a number of highly functional pieces that are perfect for students.
On the one hand, many students are looking for high-tech solutions that will help them work and play. One such product is a tech-infused lamp called Hole, which can be controlled through an accompanied app. Another example is the QT Privacy Lounge Chair, which comes with a built-in power outlet for the user's phone-charging needs.
Beyond tech-integrated pieces, the September 2017 modern trends also include a number of other multi-functional items. With these products may not be able to charge a phone, they can be adapted and customized to fit different spaces. Examples of these versatile pieces of decor include the Artifox SHELF, the Patchwork room divider and the Dressed Cabinet by Vij5.
