The colourful seats come with three different base options (either a four-legged, weighted base or as a [rolling office chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/branch-ergonomic-chair-pro)). The [tree-inspired design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair) is most likely formed using a laser cutting technique and can fully cover the Forest chair or can adorn only certain areas for a more sleek look. **Implications** - With environmental issues saturating the media, the demand for eco-friendly or themed products is on the rise.
