# Grid-Like Seats The Bantam Chair by Ryan Dart is Full of Organic Volume By Meghan Young | Published 2010-08-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bantam-chair References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/08/15/the-bantam-chair-by-ryan-dart/) & [ryandartdesign](http://www.ryandartdesign.com/) Although a rather simple silhouette, I can't help but feel that there's quite a bit going on with the Bantam Chair. Yet this is a good thing, as it creates satiating eye candy while also happily filling up a living space with an interesting piece of furniture. Created by American designer Ryan Dart, the Bantam Chair is made from [CNC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundlink-plus) plywood, which interlock to create its [unique grid-like pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Grid-like Furniture:** Exploring the use of CNC technology to create grid patterns for furniture design. - **Organic Volume:** Designs that create an interesting visual through the use of organic voluminous shapes. - **Sustainable Plywood Design:** Creating furniture while considering the environmental impact of materials used, such as CNC plywood. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Exploration of innovative furniture design techniques using CNC technology and sustainable materials. - **Interior Design:** Creation of visually stimulating living spaces with unique and interesting furniture pieces. - **Sustainable Materials Industry:** Growing demand for eco-friendly materials such as CNC plywood in the furniture and design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Plywood Sculptural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-chair.md) - [Geometric Flatpacked Wooden Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedia-tonda.md) - [Cleverly Molded Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/layup-chair.md) - [Ultra-Precise Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-design.md) - [Bungee Cord Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcord-chair.md) - [Simplistically Shaped Geometric Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Timeless Contemporary Dynamic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodo-sperlein.md)
