Tubular Backrest Seats

The Paris Chair By Kalin Asenov Shapes Maple and Aluminum Stylishly

— November 28, 2011 — Art & Design
Despite what the comfort level of the Paris Chair may suggest judging from the images, there's no denying that the stylish slitted furniture piece will brighten up rooms it's featured in.

Designed by Kalin Asenov for a school project, the Paris Chair is made from carefully molded pieces of maple wood and aluminum. Asenov explains that the materials used to fabricate the seating apparatus are rather light. Couple this with the angelic overall design of the chair and you have an airy butt rest that's best described as "heavenly."

Most people will no doubt quickly notice the tubular design of the chair's backrest. Since it's comprised of soft maple wood pieces, it will most likely conform to the curvature of the chair user's spine. Or, perhaps, chairs like these are best admired by the eyes rather than by the touch.
Trend Themes
1. Tubular Backrest Design - There is an opportunity to explore more ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing seating solutions that incorporate the tubular backrest design to provide comfort and style in furniture design.
2. Lightweight Furniture Materials - The use of lighter materials like maple wood and aluminum could revolutionize the furniture industry by enhancing the user experience and drastically reducing the cost of production.
3. Minimalistic Furniture Design - Through minimalist furniture design, striking a balance between function and beauty, there is an opportunity to create a visually appealing furniture with sleek and functional designs.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The furniture design industry has a major opportunity to leverage this innovative tubular backrest design to create unique and comfortable pieces of furniture that are both functional and stylish.
2. Interior Design - The interior design industry has an opportunity to explore interior decor that incorporates minimalist and lightweight furniture designs that are aesthetically pleasing and functional.
3. Architecture and Construction - The architecture and construction industry has an opportunity to introduce a unique design aesthetic by creating structures that incorporate minimalist and tubular backrest furniture designs.
