Sinuous Timber Side Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Newspaper Table by Niebo.Design Compactly Collects Reading Material

— November 11, 2011 — Art & Design
Every couch needs some sort of adjacent elevated surface on which one can place a beverage or a book, but it's pieces like this Newspaper Table by Niebo.Design which truly prove to be useful.

It isn't quite enough to have a tiny tabletop, as it will inevitably become a spot to stack magazines, newsletters and novels anyway. The beauty of this object -- besides its graceful bent wood design -- is in the pair of cubbyholes it offers for the storage of all sorts of items.

What is particularly clever about this cute coffee table is the broken form of the upper shelf. If you keep your daily gazettes stored within it, you can tie twine right through the Newspaper Table by Niebo.Design to bind old issues for convenient recycling.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Storage - Opportunities for designers and furniture companies to create products with built-in storage solutions for small living spaces.
2. Multifunctional Furniture - Designers and furniture companies can create pieces that serve multiple purposes in order to maximize space and functionality in homes and apartments.
3. Sustainable Design - The use of environmentally-friendly and recyclable materials to create furniture pieces, such as these timber side tables, can appeal to eco-conscious consumers and provide companies with a unique selling point.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Innovative furniture designers can create new products that prioritize compact storage and multifunctionality to meet the needs of consumers living in small spaces.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate multifunctional pieces like these timber side tables to create practical and stylish living spaces for their clients.
3. Sustainable Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can implement more sustainable practices, such as using eco-friendly materials and minimizing waste, to appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers.
