When it comes to buying sustainable furniture for the future, we can rely on two principles. These two principles are minimalism and sustainability. It might be impossible to predict which design trends would be dominating the future. However, keeping the current condition of our planet in mind, we can rest assured that these two trends would surely be there. In fact, these two concepts are against the notion of the trend itself.  They present a product that is so bereft of material and so unassuming that it easily fits in any decor. Purpose takes over the design here. The portable Picture Table and other furniture items mentioned in the article are amongst the most popular minimalistic furniture out there.
