The chair maintains a seemingly deconstructed design aesthetic that's achieved with bent plywood over the frame to have it appear as though it's floating just above the body. The chair is paired with leather-covered cushions on the seat itself and the backrest to provide a touch of undulating comfort against the hard structural design. The 'Fly' armchair could be compared to the iconic [Eames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/markvonrama) lounge chair and helps to elevate the form into a modern furniture piece for the home. The chair is the Gold Winner of the A’ Design Award for 2022. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Deconstructed Design:** There is an opportunity for furniture companies to experiment with the deconstructed design aesthetic to create new, visually striking pieces. - **Illusory Furniture:** Furniture makers can explore new designs that rely on optical illusions to offer unique, eye-catching experiences for users and onlookers alike. - **Comfortable Modernism:** There is a trend for designers to incorporate comfortable materials into their modern pieces to create a more welcoming and inviting look and feel. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can use these trends to create new, innovative designs that stand out in a crowded market. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can take advantage of the popularity of deconstructed and illusory furniture trends when creating unique and visually striking living spaces. - **Luxury Design:** Luxury furniture makers can incorporate comfortable materials into their modern designs to create new, high-end pieces that offer both style and comfort. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Component Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-top-chair.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Haute Cohesive Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-chair-by-blond.md) - [Sustainable Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Enveloping Nested Layer Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hug-armchair.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Ergonomic Butterfly-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-chair.md)
