# Chunkily Woven Chairs The Biknit Chaise Lounge is Made with Cozy Oversized Cords By Meghan Young | Published 2013-02-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biknit-chaise-lounge References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/get-out-biknit-by-patricia-urquiola-for-moroso/) & [moroso.it](http://www.moroso.it/) There is nothing more comfortable than a big chunky sweater, at least during the wintertime, and that is exactly what the Biknit chaise lounge brings to mind. Unlike typical [woven furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs), this one features playfully [oversized cords plaited](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-tradition) on contrasting powder coated steel frame to give it a cute contemporary appeal while not skimping out on the cozy factor. The Biknit chaise lounge was designed by Patricia Urquiola for [Moroso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-upholstered-seating). Created for both indoor and outdoor use, the only difference between the two is that the latter is made with a soft polyethylene down core that’s covered with a polyester/PVC knit. The base is made out of a durable, thermo-stabilized ash wood that can stand up to the harsh outdoor elements. It is available in three colors: honey, mint and fire. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chunky Knit Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture brands to create cozy and contemporary pieces with oversized cords plaited on contrasting frames. - **Indoor-outdoor Versatility:** Opportunity for designers to create furniture that seamlessly transitions from indoor to outdoor spaces, using durable and weather-resistant materials. - **Contrasting Materials:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to experiment with combining different materials, such as steel frames and thermo-stabilized ash wood bases. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Furniture brands can take inspiration from the Biknit chaise lounge to create unique and comfortable pieces. - **Design:** Designers can explore the use of oversized cords and contrasting materials to create visually appealing furniture. - **Outdoor Living:** Outdoor furniture companies can incorporate the cozy and contemporary design of the Biknit chaise lounge to enhance outdoor living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md) - [Cozy Contemporary Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-perron-bun.md) - [Modular Knit Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one.md) - [Industrial Exterior Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osier-lounge-chair.md) - [Traditional Vibrant Outdoor Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/net-lounge.md) - [Modern Cushioned Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-outdoor-seating.md) - [Comfort-Focused Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grapy-lounge-chair.md) - [Contemporary Quick-Dry Patio Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-lounge-chair.md) - [Deco-Inspired Chunky Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-curve-big-chair.md)
