This [luminous lounger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pangolin) takes on the [anatomical form of a human being](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerospace-seat-spn01). Created by British designer Sam Buxton, the Clone Chaise essentially interacts with the potential user. It activates as soon as it senses that a person is near. According to Book of Joe, "The electroluminescent display lights up, and as a user interacts with the chaise lounge, its digital heart and lungs begin to beat and breathe, as if bringing the chair to life." A stunningly unique piece of furniture, only six Clone Chaise lounges were created. They are made out of [acrylic, steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair) and sequencing electronics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Luminous Furniture:** Innovative designers can create home or office furniture that incorporate electroluminescent displays for interactive and visually stunning experiences. - **Interactive Home Decor:** Technological advancements allow for home decor items, such as the Clone Chaise, to be designed with sensors and artificial intelligence for a futuristic feel. - **Living, Breathing Furniture:** Artificial intelligence breathing furniture can be designed to make the user feel like they are interacting with a living, breathing organism as they sit and relax. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can benefit from creating modern and interactive furniture pieces that embody the futuristic aesthetic. - **Technology:** Developments in technology can be applied to furniture design to create sensory and interactive experiences within the home or office. - **Artificial Intelligence:** The furniture industry can explore the use of artificial intelligence to create furniture that interacts and adapts to its environment and user. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Mood Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumen-chair.md) - [Skeletally Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaise-espinhal.md) - [Vibrant Chaise Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versarest.md) - [Ergonomic Inflated Reclined Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-faurebrac.md) - [Sculpted Rock-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oksys-chaise-lounge.md) - [Anatomical Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair.md) - [Breath-Responsive Recliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiora.md) - [Industrial Light-Equipped Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-light-chair.md) - [Versatile Hybrid Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-hybridlounger.md)
