The chair he created is both a lounger and an ottoman. The Dual Cut Chair gets its name because it is made out of a cube of foam that has been sliced in two. It can easily be folded in half if you needed to transport or store it. The chair was designed for the Belgian brand Sixinch. Kitmen Keung explains that the Dual Cut Chair “employs the simplest production processes true to the materials in use with minimal wastage.” Not only is the chair completely stylish, but it is also made with the environment in mind. You can purchase the Dual Cut chair in either dark gray or light gray. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Modular Seating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing seating solutions that can be easily assembled and disassembled for transport or storage. - **Sustainable Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating stylish furniture while minimizing wastage and incorporating eco-friendly materials. - **Multi-functional Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing versatile furniture pieces that serve multiple purposes and adapt to different spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating efficient production processes that reduce material waste and offer flexible furniture solutions. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with furniture designers to create sustainable and adaptable seating options for diverse environments. - **Home Decor Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering modular and multi-functional furniture pieces that cater to customers' space-saving and design-conscious needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Scissor-Like Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauld-chair.md) - [Modular Knit Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one.md) - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Hollow Multipurpose Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tailor-armchair.md) - [Puzzle-Like Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twinsmdf.md) - [Storage-Friendly Origami Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kerf.md) - [Leftover Textile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-lounge-chair.md) - [Adventurous Versatile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat.md) - [Versatile Dynamic Armchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-armchair.md)
