# Carbon Fiber Furniture This Furniture Collection Was Made Using Aerospace Robotics By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-06-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerospace-robotics References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2016/06/05/marleen-kaptein-aerospace-robots-design-carbon-fibre-chair-furniture-netherlands-nlr-label-breed/) & [labelbreed.nl](http://www.labelbreed.nl/) Designer Marleen Kaptein and company 'Label/Breed' created a collection of furniture that was made using aerospace robotics with the help of the Netherlands Aerospace Center. The [recycled carbon fiber chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruffini) and lamps were crafted by robots that wrapped the reinforced plastic with an extreme precision that enabled the intricate designs of the products. The automated machines aid in preventing waste as well, as they are able to get the most out of each strand of carbon fiber. The chairs have a grid design that carries through the seats and backs, creating a design that looks both [futuristic and Gothic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polarisgo-chair) at the same time. [Lamp shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa) are made similarly to the chairs, with a more simplistic and modern design. Marleen Kaptein and her collaborators hope that these products will show how the resourceful material can be used with the help of aerospace robotics to create an array of different products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Recycled Carbon Fiber:** The use of recycled carbon fiber in furniture production presents disruptive innovation opportunities for sustainable design. - **Aerospace Robotics:** The integration of aerospace robotics in furniture manufacturing opens up possibilities for intricate and precise designs. - **Automated Waste Prevention:** The use of automated machines in carbon fiber furniture production can revolutionize waste prevention by maximizing the utilization of each strand. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can adopt recycled carbon fiber and aerospace robotics to create innovative and sustainable products. - **Sustainable Design:** Sustainable design industries can explore the use of recycled carbon fiber and automated waste prevention methods to create eco-friendly furniture and products. - **Robotics and Automation:** The robotics and automation industry can explore the integration of aerospace robotics in furniture manufacturing, showcasing new capabilities for precision and efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Carbon Fiber Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mishima-lounge-chairs.md) - [Textured Recycled Plastic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiber-chair-family.md) - [Chic Recycled Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vale-furniture-collection.md) - [3D-Printed Recycled Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loom-furniture-collection.md) - [Oceanic-Themed Playful Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-cober.md) - [Reused Skyscraper Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-form-line.md) - [Sustainable Chrome Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-collection.md) - [Minimalist Upcycled Aluminum Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truss-furniture.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-lamborghini-furniture-pieces.md)
