OK, so it is not technically a Chewy chair, but it really does look like its made of his fur, doesn’t it? It also has a very 60’s or 70’s feel to it. That little description is just a simplification of the concept by American designer Jason Miller. Unsurprisingly called ‘The [Woolly Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-coffee-machine),’ this beast is made from [felt and bison hide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yves-salomon). It sits among his collection of other pieces, some of which can be seen in the gallery, which are a total contrast with their [sleek design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yay-chair). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Faux Furry Furniture:** The trend towards using faux animal fur in furniture design presents an opportunity for innovative materials and sustainable manufacturing practices. - **Retro-inspired Design:** The continued popularity of 60’s and 70’s design aesthetics opens up opportunities for modern designers to incorporate vintage styles into new and innovative products. - **Upcycled Furniture:** The use of non-traditional materials such as bison hide in furniture design presents an opportunity for creative upcycling and repurposing in manufacturing processes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore new materials and manufacturing methods to create innovative and sustainable products that cater to the trend towards faux animal fur and vintage-inspired design. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate retro-inspired furniture pieces, such as the Woolly Chair, into contemporary spaces to create a unique and eclectic design aesthetic. - **Fashion:** Designers in the fashion industry can incorporate animal-free fur materials and vintage-inspired designs into their clothing and accessory lines to cater to the growing demand for sustainable and ethical fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sheep Fleece Fiberglass-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welsh-mountain-hembury-chair.md) - [Transforming Sci-Fi Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-pets-star-wars-chewbacca.md) - [Chunky Knitted Quilted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitty-chair.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quella-chair.md) - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md) - [Otherworldly Themed Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-rocking.md) - [Cozy Sheep-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flock-furniture.md) - [Moon-Inspired Modular Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wigiwama.md) - [Furry Mycelium Sustainable Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aifunghi.md)
