The park is known as an art park and the perfect setting for e/b company to create this eye-catching piece. The installation almost looks like a [portal to another world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portal-by-decibel) with its wave-like shape and simple lines. It's made from approximately 400 [wooden chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass) and takes up quite a large area of the park. The e/b company's website explains a bit about the concept behind the piece, stating that: "Sitting enables the detached observation of our lives in space and time, whether it’s to look upon the buildings we inhabit, or look out from them, towards the cultural milieu that surrounds. Sitting enables a perception of the other and beyond opposite the inclusivity and interiority of our personal spaces that we carry with us." Ironically, you shouldn't sit on the piece -- after all, it's art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unconventional Installations:** Exploring the concept of art installations beyond the traditional mediums such as paint, sculpture, and mixed media. - **Interactive Artworks:** Fostering the element of involvement between the viewer and the artwork for experiential and immersive outcomes. - **Innovative Materials:** Experimenting with unconventional materials to create visually stunning pieces that challenge the conventional understanding of art. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Exploring opportunities to create unconventional artworks through interactive installations and innovative mediums. - **Design:** Incorporating unconventional materials and techniques in design projects to provide unique and visually-appealing outcomes. - **Tourism:** Developing tourist attractions through interactive and immersive art installations that showcase a city's cultural and artistic identity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md) - [Recycled Seating Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atlanta-airport-chairs.md) - [Sculptural Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-public-seating.md) - [Anime-Themed Sculptural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/o-series.md) - [Dynamic Moving-Illusion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture.md) - [Swivelling Marbled Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landmark-project.md) - [Arched Circular Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-chair.md) - [Naturalistic Public Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-ark-outdoor-seat.md) - [Playful Public Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-public-seating.md)
