Inspired by quality luggage trunks, this [modular seat set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla) comes tethered together with leather straps, giving it a vintage appeal that is still very much contemporary. Brought to the masses by [Purcell Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoemakers-museum), the Cuscino Easy Chair also boasts a [quilted pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/press-armchair) over its entire surface. This added detail sets it even further apart from all the other sofas out there. Made up of three leather pillows, this set can be rearranged to form a bench, ottoman, pouf or -- the pièce de résistance -- a lounger. The use of sandwich foam internal padding provides both comfort and support, which is especially necessary for home furniture that is used on a daily basis. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Seating:** The trend of modular seating provides opportunities for innovative designs and flexibility in furniture arrangements. - **Vintage-inspired Furniture:** The trend of vintage-inspired furniture creates a market for nostalgic designs with modern functionality. - **Quilted Upholstery:** The trend of quilted upholstery offers opportunities for unique textures and visual appeal in furniture design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Furniture:** The home furniture industry can explore innovative ways to incorporate modular seating and vintage-inspired designs into their product offerings. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the popularity of modular seating and vintage-inspired furniture to create unique and stylish spaces for clients. - **Luxury Furniture:** The luxury furniture industry can capitalize on the trend of quilted upholstery to create high-end, customizable pieces that stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Leather Classic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-chair-1.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Sofa Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-sofa.md) - [Industrial Leather-Padded Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strip-chair-by-henge.md) - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md) - [Flamboyant Vintage-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiltana-armchair.md) - [Cozy Contemporary Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-perron-bun.md) - [Leftover Textile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-lounge-chair.md) - [Modern Cushioned Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-outdoor-seating.md) - [Vibrant Chaise Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versarest.md)
