# Eye-Filled Armchairs The Fiona Roberts Scopophilia Seat Watches You While You Sit By Vivian Lau | Published 2012-08-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiona-roberts-scopophilia References: [adelaidereview.au](http://www.adelaidereview.com.au/article/1359) & [fiona-roberts](http://fiona-roberts.com) The Fiona Roberts Scopophilia [armchair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poodle-armchair) might just be the creepiest addition to your living room, but it is definitely eye-catching. Scopophilia means "the love of looking," which is an appropriate name for a seat with absolute piercing gazes. This [lounge chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monk-armchair) is outfitted with [scary floating plastic eyeballs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-chair) of blue, green, gray and hazel colors. The privacy-invasive pattern is only heightened by the blood red upholstery, adding to its strangely alluring shock factor. While you might not want to purchase this piece of furniture if you have small children or an easily excitable cat, perhaps it would be a good investment for those who don't have a dependable watch dog in place. The chair was shown in the Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition 2012 and won the $5000 prize. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## 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 - **Intentional Creepiness:** The trend of intentionally incorporating creepy elements into furniture designs creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry. - **Interactive Furniture:** The trend of incorporating interactive elements, such as the floating plastic eyeballs on the Fiona Roberts Scopophilia armchair, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the furniture manufacturing industry. - **Unique Design Aesthetics:** The trend of embracing unconventional and eye-catching design aesthetics, like the blood red upholstery and floating plastic eyeballs, opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the interior design industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Incorporating intentionally creepy elements into furniture designs creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The trend of incorporating interactive elements, such as the floating plastic eyeballs on the Fiona Roberts Scopophilia armchair, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the furniture manufacturing industry. - **Interior Design:** Embracing unconventional and eye-catching design aesthetics, like the blood red upholstery and floating plastic eyeballs, opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the interior design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Sculptural Cocooned Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introvert-chair.md) - [Vibrant '90s-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holloway-li.md) - [Anatomical Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair.md) - [Cocoon Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-introvert-chair.md) - [Celestial Silkscreened Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanity-fair-xc-armchair.md) - [Avian-Inspired Privacy Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peacock-chair-concept.md) - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-urchin.md)
