Peterson. Named the 'Wire Chair,' the first of its kind dates back to 1972 when architect Dan Varth was teaching at the [Royal Danish Academy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-living-materials). The architect took ordinary water pipes and bent them in such a manner that produced a unique chair. Today, the architect has reimagined his original design into a studier rendition. The contemporary update consists of using a [diagonal carbon fiber weave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) which makes for a stable seat. The weave has enough give to ensure the chair is equally comfortable as it is stable. The seat is then finished with a [hand-polished stainless steel frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair) welded by artisan Mikkel Kjærholm. The finished product has an industrial and sleek presence and stays true to its original design. Image Credit: A.
