The chair features a [cubic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunon-furniture-mixcube) that is covered in a series of zippered panels that connect with one another to create an [enclosed area for enhanced privacy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bay-work-pod). This will enable a person to keep the panels closed when they're on a video call to create the appearance that they are in a professional workspace when they might just be in the living room. The conceptual 'Commute' chair is designed with a [flexible light unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elgato-embrace) that will brighten up the user's face on calls and provide them with illumination when reading after hours. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.0/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 10% - 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Home Office Furnishings:** Opportunity for companies to create functional and stylish home office furnishings that meet the demands of remote work. - **Privacy-enhancing Technology:** Opportunity for innovation in incorporating privacy-enhancing technology into home office furniture. - **Multifunctional Design:** Opportunity for companies to design home office furniture that can serve multiple purposes beyond work hours. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can take advantage of the growing demand for home office furnishings and privacy-protecting technology. - **Technology:** Tech companies can partner with furniture manufacturers to innovate and incorporate privacy-enhancing tech in furniture. - **Interior Design:** Interior design professionals can guide clients in creating functional and stylish home office spaces that meet their specific needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Relaxed Anti-Distraction Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortune-chair.md) - [Health-Focused Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-office-chair.md) - [Stylishly Functional Yellow Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-chair.md) - [Bold Mobile Work Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omniseat-portable-productivity.md) - [Mobile Outdoor Workspace Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freelance-workspace.md) - [Modular Workspace Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-stool-design.md) - [Adaptive Color Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-workplace.md) - [Minimalist Privacy Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-seat-design.md) - [Transforming Workspace Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asytron-furniture.md)
