# Hybrid Seating Solution Designs This Chair Concept Has Elements of Wicker and Rattan Styles By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-04-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-concept References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/04/27/cane-meets-scandinavian/) This chair concept has been designed by Mauricio Ercoli as a modern piece of furniture for the home that will enable consumers to maintain a stylish interior without sacrificing on functionality. Integrated with a [wicker backing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicker-side-table) and a more substantial seating section, the chair is crafted from natural materials like straw, bamboo, wood and leather to create a solution for virtually any home. The modern yet traditional design of the chair blurs the line between different aesthetics of the past and present to ensure it's right at home wherever it's placed. The chair concept can be used as an [accent chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-perron-bun) or a [dining table option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-chair-concept) to make it as much or as little a part of your home as you desire. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Seating Solutions:** Designing furniture with elements of diverse styles creates unique and versatile seating options. - **Blurred Aesthetics:** Creating designs that combine different styles from the past and present to appeal to modern consumers. - **Natural Materials:** Using eco-friendly and sustainable materials like straw, bamboo, wood, and leather in furniture design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity to create innovative furniture pieces that combine different styles and materials for unique customer experiences. - **Interior Design:** Exploring the use of hybrid seating solutions to create visually interesting and functional spaces. - **Eco-friendly Home Decor:** Growing demand for furniture made from natural and sustainable materials to align with consumers' eco-conscious lifestyles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rattan-Like Modern Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mua-lau.md) - [Intricately Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Arched Circular Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-chair.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pouf Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rio-pouffe.md) - [Woven Midcentury Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kida-armchair.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Naturalistic Stainable Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daisee-chair.md)
