The funky chair which made it to the IWF Design Emphasis Competition, resembles a [reclining female figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi). Gill used a software program that scanned the female body, then translated it into another stylizing software program called AlphaCAM. Finally, Gill used a birch plywood model with a tung oil furniture finish. I am officially in love. **Implications** - In a contemporary society increasingly obsessed with originality and novelty, a company can capitalize on this movement by investing in traditional, household products that are conventional in practice, but feature a [radical or avant-garde design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yay-chair).
