# T-Square Chairs The Chaise Triagonal Accentuates its Sharp and Chic Angles By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-02-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaise-triagonal References: [artibazar](http://www.artibazar.com/chaise-triagonal-par-markus-franke) & [markus-franke-design.net](http://www.markus-franke-design.net/kollektion_triagonal.html) It looks as though the principles of Bauhaus design were taken and elaborated upon with the beautiful Chaise Triagonal. A rectangular sheet of metal was creased in the middle at 90 degrees, offering a rigid and sturdy seat. Markus Franke's design is a striking expression of angles, with the frame of the furnishing made from thick pieces of timber that form brackets with 45-degree cuts. The cool metal top cantilevers over the warm wooden base with a lovely visual balance of material and composition. Small triangular incisions in the top corner of the Chaise Triagonal provide a bit of extra detail for a chair that already becomes the accent of any room. Rational and elegant, the piece embodies the link between architecture and furniture design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bauhaus-inspired Design:** Opportunity for creating furniture designs that take inspiration from the principles of Bauhaus design and elaborate upon them to create striking and unique pieces. - **Angular Aesthetics:** Opportunity for designing furniture with sharp and chic angles, creating visually interesting and modern pieces that stand out in any room. - **Material Composition Balance:** Opportunity for exploring the visual balance of materials in furniture design, combining contrasting elements like metal and wood to create aesthetically pleasing and unique pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Disruption opportunity for furniture designers to incorporate Bauhaus-inspired elements, angular aesthetics, and material composition balance into their designs, offering customers unique and visually striking pieces. - **Interior Design:** Disruption opportunity for interior designers to incorporate Bauhaus-inspired furniture designs with angular aesthetics and material composition balance, creating visually stunning and modern spaces. - **Architecture:** Disruption opportunity for architects to explore the link between architecture and furniture design by incorporating Bauhaus-inspired furniture pieces with angular aesthetics and material composition balance into their projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Minimal Geometric Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/euclid-chair.md) - [Modernist Ski-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-chair.md) - [Metallic Tubular Minimal Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tone-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Geometric Flatpacked Wooden Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedia-tonda.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Slender Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tong-side-table.md) - [Simplistically Shaped Geometric Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair.md)
