Designer Michael W. Dreeben created an elegant form that is both organic and modern. The Billet Chaise is made from polyester. The colorful coating is available in a variety of bright colors. The Billet Chaise is definitely for [lounging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge); the back of the chaise is not adjustable so laying down is not optional. The chaise will force you to relax, and that's not such a bad thing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 21% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop minimalist lounge furniture using sustainable materials for eco-conscious consumers. - **Outdoor Living:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create outdoor lounges with customizable features such as adjustable backrests and built-in technology for a seamless outdoor entertainment experience. - **Colorful Coatings:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce a range of chaise lounges with color-changing coatings that can be controlled via smartphone app, allowing users to personalize their lounging experience. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Explore the use of unconventional materials and incorporate smart features in lounge furniture to cater to the evolving needs of consumers. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Implement sustainable manufacturing practices to create eco-friendly lounge furniture, appealing to environmentally conscious customers. - **Smart Home Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Integrate smart home technology into outdoor lounges, enabling seamless control of lighting, temperature, and other features for an enhanced outdoor living experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upholstery-Free Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/massproductions.md) - [Sculpted Rock-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oksys-chaise-lounge.md) - [Minimal Outdoor Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bask-lounge.md) - [Skeletally Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaise-espinhal.md) - [Vibrant Chaise Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versarest.md) - [Ultra-Elegant Designer Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-outdoor-furniture.md) - [Robust Modern Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chalidor-800.md) - [Balance-Inspired Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seating-collection.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md)
