# Cocoon-Like Knitted Chairs Miray Özlem ER's Cocoon Chair is Inspired by Metamorphosis By Amy Duong | Published 2023-06-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoon-chair-1 References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/06/26/cozy-knitted-chair-is-inspired-by-the-cocoon-of-a-butterfly/) & [mirayozlemer](https://www.mirayozlemer.com/)  The new Cocoon chair designed by Miray Özlem ER is a unique furniture piece that is designed with inspiration drawn from the [transformation or rebirth metamorphosis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-collection-2) of a butterfly. Caterpillars undergo a process of renewal when going through the experience and this serves as the influence as the chair's form is designed to [comfortably wrap around the user's body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysa). This is meant to resemble the protective cocoon layer that provides warmth and comfort. It has a knitted area where users are to sit down and the structure is supported by wooden materials. It has a free-flow shape and the knitted area is meant to represent the silk balls that are made up of the cocoon of a butterfly.
