# Easy Rider Armchairs The Bike Chair Makes the Transition from the Open Road to Home Easier By Michael Hines | Published 2011-12-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biker-chair References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/12/21/moto-chair/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/oowoo) Hardcore motorcycle riders looking to replicate the feeling of being on their bikes while at home are going to love the Biker chair. Jang Woo-seok has designed the Biker Chair to be the thinnest armchair around. Judging by its slim size and barely there armrests, this piece definitely has a shot at taking the title. The Bike chair is all-black and is designed with curvy wooden armrests that resemble the handlebars of a motorcycle. Perhaps the biggest biker-themed addition to the chair is the footrest that resembles a pair of foot pegs. While many non-bikers may shy away from the Biker chair, I'm willing to bet that it could become a hit from the Harley and rice-rocket-riding communities. After all, everyone loves lounge chairs and sofas designed in the shape of cars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 65% | 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 - **Motorcycle-themed Furniture:** Opportunity for creating furniture designs that replicate the feeling of being on a motorcycle, appealing to hardcore motorcycle enthusiasts. - **Slim and Minimalist Armchairs:** Potential for designing armchairs with slim and minimalist profiles, offering a sleek and modern aesthetic. - **Lounge Chairs and Sofas Shaped Like Vehicles:** Market potential for lounge chairs and sofas that mimic the shape of vehicles, tapping into the love for unique and unconventional furniture designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating innovative and themed furniture pieces that cater to specific niche markets. - **Motorcycle Industry:** Potential for collaboration between furniture designers and motorcycle manufacturers to create motorcycle-themed furniture that complements the riding experience. - **Home Decor Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to offer unique and eye-catching furniture designs to appeal to motorcycle enthusiasts and consumers looking for distinctive home decor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supercar-Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prova-mo53-lounge.md) - [Driver Seat-Inspired Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-office-chair.md) - [Padded Upright Vibrant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-chair.md) - [Italian Luxury-Leather Motorbike Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xdiavel-nera.md) - [Motion Blur-Inspired Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rocking-chair.md) - [Otherworldly Themed Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-rocking.md) - [Modernist Ski-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-chair.md) - [Automotive-Themed Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotrod-gaming-chair.md) - [Orthopaedic Saddle Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-mantis.md)
