# Exotic Animal-Inspired Seating The Chaise Lion by Maria Pergay is Created for Fendi By Meghan Young | Published 2014-01-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaise-lion References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/007445.html) & [fendi](http://www.fendi.com/it/it) The Chaise Lion is a [lounge chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monk-armchair) fit for an eccentric and wealthy older woman. This is only natural since it was designed specifically for [Fendi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-casa1). Although that might not necessarily be the luxury label's target demographic, it is undeniable that their designs lean towards such a group, just as the Chaise Lion does. Created by French designer Maria Pergay, the Chaise Lion is aptly named. Inspired by the animal kingdom, it features a bold cheetah print and luscious fur throw. With this in mind, the chair could have easily belonged to a Viking lord as well, one with extremely good taste, of course. With its draped [Stainless Steel framework](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poodle-armchair) and lion feet, it certainly makes an impact. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Exotic Animal-inspired Seating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unique seating designs that draw inspiration from various exotic animals, appealing to customers seeking avant-garde and luxurious furniture. - **Luxury Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-end furniture collections that cater to the tastes of eccentric and wealthy customers, integrating opulent materials and unique design elements. - **Artistic Furniture Collaboration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with renowned designers to create exclusive and visually striking furniture pieces that combine artistry and functionality, targeting affluent and design-conscious consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the market for exotic and luxurious furniture pieces, offering unique designs that stand out and appeal to sophisticated buyers. - **Luxury Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Extend brand offerings beyond traditional fashion products by entering the luxury home decor market with exclusive furniture items that reflect the brand's design aesthetic. - **Interior Design Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate exotic and animal-inspired furniture into interior design projects, providing a distinctive and visually captivating environment for luxury residential and hospitality clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Celestial Silkscreened Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanity-fair-xc-armchair.md) - [Fuzzy Modern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-modern-chair.md) - [Chic Pineapple Leather Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-leather-chair.md) - [Vibrant Chaise Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versarest.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prova-mo53-lounge.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quella-chair.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md)
