# Samurai-Helmet Seating The Fly Chair by Patrick Norguet for OFFECCT By Meghan Young | Published 2010-02-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fly-chair References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/02/11/the-fly-chair-by-patrick-norguet/) & [patricknorguet](http://www.patricknorguet.com/) Although I’m pretty sure that the Fly Chair is made for indoor use, I think the design would look perfect on an [outdoor patio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madison-chair) or by the pool. There’s just something [lounge-like and rustic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monk-armchair) despite its obvious modern take. Designed by Patrick Norguet for the Swedish manufacturer OFFECCT, the Fly Chair took four years to complete. The reason for that time involved getting the perfect textile for the design as well as one that was the most [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair). Similar to the shape of a Japanese samurai helmet, the Fly Chair definitely evokes a sense of the Far East. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating eco-friendly textiles and materials for furniture design. - **Outdoor Luxury:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating modern, lounge-like furniture designs for outdoor spaces. - **Eastern Influences:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in incorporating Far East-inspired designs into modern furniture aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the production of sustainable and modern furniture designs. - **Textile Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing eco-friendly textiles suitable for furniture upholstery. - **Outdoor Living:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating luxurious and contemporary outdoor furniture for residential and commercial spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Childhood-Inspired Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-outdoor-lounge.md) - [Traditional Vibrant Outdoor Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/net-lounge.md) - [Ergonomic Butterfly-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-chair.md) - [Sophisticated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-chair-collection.md) - [Contemporary Quick-Dry Patio Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-lounge-chair.md) - [Naturalistic Grass-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flip-chair.md) - [Dynamic Outdoor Upholstered Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/africa-collection.md) - [Wellbeing-Harnessing Fan-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanti-chair.md) - [Industrial Exterior Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osier-lounge-chair.md)
