# Functional Furniture Art The YOY Canvas Chair Art Can be Put on the Wall When Not in Use By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-04-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-art References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/en/design/yoy-canvas/) & [yoy-idea.jp](http://yoy-idea.jp/works/canvas/) This clever chair art by YOY Canvas is not a camera trick or [optical illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture). You can actually comfortably sit on this painted chair. The project bridges the gap between art and furniture, which makes it the ultimate set interior decorating piece. Each piece can be used as a place to sit, and when it is not in use can be placed on the wall. It is a fantastic solution to [small urban spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) that require rooms to be used for multiple settings. Each piece of chair art is made with a flexible fabric that almost acts like a hammock. When an individual sits on it, the fabric stretches and provides ultimate comfort. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Functional Art:** Combining function with aesthetics to create multi-purpose pieces that can complement home decor. - **Versatile Furniture:** Designing furniture that can adapt to different needs or be used in various settings. - **Artistic Interiors:** Integrating art pieces that also serve practical purposes into interior designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Opportunities for furniture makers to create multi-functional pieces that are artistic and practical. - **Interior Design:** Opportunities for interior decorators to incorporate functional art pieces in designing living spaces. - **Home Decor:** Opportunities for innovation in the home decor industry, blurring the lines between art and functional furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Simple Multifunctional Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chairpf.md) - [Uniquely Structured Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yay-chair.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md) - [Table-Equipped Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migo-chair.md) - [Magnified Illusion Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-chair.md) - [Flatpack Ultra-Modular Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-chair.md) - [Storage-Attached Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-chair.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md) - [Sculptural Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-wall-desk.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md)
