# Hybrid Chair Lamps Art-Chitecture Furniture System Turns a Chair into a Glowing Floor Lamp By Amy Duong | Published 2026-03-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artchitecture References: [jxystudio](https://jxystudio.com/architecture/)  The Art-chitecture modular furniture system by [JXY Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-greenhouse-is-your-kitchen) is a conceptual design that transforms the same components into multiple furniture pieces. The Art-chitecture modular furniture system combines stainless steel framing with frosted acrylic panels that diffuse light from within the structure. In one configuration, the unit functions as a chair with a cushioned interior, while in another arrangement, the illuminated acrylic panels allow the structure to operate as a [floor lamp or wall sconce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stak-modular-lamp). The system uses exposed stainless steel hardware and a visible structural frame that resembles small-scale architectural construction. Frosted acrylic panels act as both structural surfaces and light diffusers, allowing the furniture to glow softly when illuminated. The [modular components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modulo-collection) can also be reassembled into other objects such as shelves or wall-mounted lighting pieces.
