# Cartoon-Like Furniture This Italian Designer Releases a Cartoon-Inspired Chair By Gurveer Brah | Published 2015-08-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartoon-furniture References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/cartoon-like-chair-konstantin-grcic-magis/) & [magisdesign](http://www.magisdesign.com/index.php/elenco_prodotti/sam-son/) This Italian designer finds inspiration in his line of amusing, yet simple cartoon furniture. The 'Sam Son' is a chair designed by Konstantin Grcic for Magis that looks to bridge a gap between functionality and whimsical design. The seat is perfect as a signature piece for a child's bedroom or a standout in a minimalist apartment. This cartoon furniture features a U-shaped armrest made in the shape of a tube, while the seat is more of an elastic material with a strong, rigid base for support. Also, because it is created from variations of polyethylene, it can be used indoor or outdoor. This collection is available in four color variations; red, curry, white and gray anthracite. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Whimsical Design:** Opportunity for creating furniture that combines functionality with amusing and playful aesthetics. - **Cartoon-inspired Furniture:** Potential for designing furniture that takes inspiration from cartoons, appealing to both children and adults. - **Versatile Indoor-outdoor Furniture:** Opportunity for creating furniture that can be used both indoors and outdoors, providing flexibility and convenience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** New avenues for designers to create innovative and visually appealing furniture pieces. - **Children's Furniture:** Opportunity for designing furniture specifically targeted towards children, combining functionality and fun design elements. - **Minimalist Home Decor:** Potential for incorporating whimsical furniture pieces into minimalist interiors, adding a touch of playfulness to the space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Cartoon-Like Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flash-furniture-series.md) - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md) - [Childhood-Informed Dome Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clodette-chair.md) - [Moon-Inspired Modular Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wigiwama.md) - [Modular Chromatic Child Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidzilla-chair.md) - [Chunky Cylindrical Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umi-armchair.md) - [Balloon-Like Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seungjin-yang.md) - [Childhood-Inspired Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-outdoor-lounge.md) - [Playful Recycled Aluminum Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuba-chair.md)
