This collection of [bending metal chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldseat) by 'SOHN' presents an artistic approach that combines seating and art. The collection titled 'Liner' represents the artistic style of line art by using a [single piece of metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopy-chair) to create the entire framework of each chair.

This use of bending metal provides a pleasing aesthetic for the series while doubling as a functional piece of home decor. The seats are both attractive and comfortable, making them ideal for design lovers.

This line of chairs also features an [unusual backrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) that only covers half of the chair. The piece of metal that begins as the chair leg rises into a high backrest and then juts downward through the middle of the seat's back edge. Available in numerous colors, this seat collection will suit any modern household.
