His pieces are not a new version of an old theme. These pieces stand on their own. With EVO, he celebrates, what for years people have tried to hide with cushions and upholstery. The EVO chair completely [exposes its structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair) and uses it as a major design element. **Implications** - EVO seating comes with components that can be mixed and matched to suit your design needs. The chair was made with posture in mind and [supports your lumbar and upper back](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-spinecare) with care. The chairs have special sections that are meant to hold magazines or remote controls. Cleaning the chair is super easy and you don't need to move around any cushions! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Exposed Structure Design:** Embracing and showcasing the structural elements of furniture design, creating a unique aesthetic and functional appeal. - **Customizable Seating Components:** Providing consumers with the ability to mix and match seating components to align with their personal design preferences and needs. - **Easy-to-clean Furniture:** Developing furniture solutions that prioritize convenience and simplicity in cleaning, eliminating the need for complex cushion arrangements. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity to create innovative furniture designs that prioritize exposed structures, customizable components, and easy cleaning functionalities. - **Interior Design:** Influencing the creation of interior design solutions that incorporate exposed structure furniture and customizable seating components. - **Home Decor:** Opportunities to cater to consumer demand for easy-to-clean furniture pieces that showcase innovative design approaches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flexing Ergonomic Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noho-move-chair.md) - [Flatpack Ultra-Modular Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-chair.md) - [Lifestyle Insight-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noho.md) - [Next-Gen Durability Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-titan-evo-nanogen-edition.md) - [Architect-Inspired Sculptural Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-nouvel-11.md) - [Modular Knit Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one.md) - [Modular Circular Design Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-chair.md) - [Ergonomic Transformative Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-chair.md) - [Ultra-Minimal Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair.md)
