# Wave-Inspired Deck Chairs Equilibre Lounge Chair by Pierre Lescop is Designed for Downtime By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equilibre References: [bit.ly](http://bit.ly/8cwuIb) & [pierrelescop](http://www.pierrelescop.com/) French designer Pierre Lescop created this deckchair, the Equilibre. The design utilizes one fluid piece of material to create a [relaxing and modern piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge). The Equilibre would look right at home at a high-end luxury resort. **Implications** - The featured images show pictures of some unusual sunbathers, including a mohawked half-bird woman who seems to be enjoying the chair very much. The Equilibre chairs come in different colors such as bright orange, yellow and blue. The chairs are made out of [natural fiber composite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair) and the wave position provides relaxation and absolute comfort. Sunbathing has never looked so comfy! Pierre Lescop’s work is unique and interesting beyond the originality of the Equilibre chair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Wave-inspired Design:** Opportunity for designers and manufacturers to incorporate fluid wave-like shapes into their products for a modern and relaxing aesthetic. - **Natural Fiber Composites:** Opportunity for furniture makers to incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly materials like natural fiber composites into their designs. - **Luxury Resort Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture brands to create high-end and comfortable outdoor furniture for luxury resorts and hotels. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** With the growing consumer interest in sustainable and unique outdoor furniture designs, furniture manufacturers have an opportunity to create eco-friendly and fluid-shaped designs. - **Hospitality Industry:** Luxury resorts and hotels are continually seeking unique and comfortable outdoor furniture, creating an opportunity for furniture brands to create design partnerships and showcase their latest designs at these venues. - **Outdoor Recreation Industry:** Opportunity for outdoor recreation brands to create a new line of innovative, modern and natural fiber composite furniture for consumers looking for eco-friendly, high-end outdoor furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [Ergonomic Relaxation Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zephyr-lounger.md) - [Sustainable Hi-Rise Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollygagger.md) - [Ergonomic Inflated Reclined Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-faurebrac.md) - [Vibrant Chaise Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versarest.md) - [Traditional Vibrant Outdoor Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/net-lounge.md) - [Versatile Beach Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-beach-chair.md) - [Drink-Holding Outdoor Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lago-lounge-chair.md) - [Childhood-Inspired Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-outdoor-lounge.md)
