# Ornate Illusory Frame Chairs The 'Frame Chair' is Like a Framed Painting That You Can Sit On By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-10-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-chair References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/006950.html) & [slokoski](http://slokoski.com/en/products/frame-chair) If you were to stand in front of Slokoski's 'Frame Chair' and look at it straight on, the chair seems to look more like a framed painting than a piece of furniture. In order to create the illusion of a realistic painting, the furniture piece uses incredibly rich textures like velvet on its interior. Although the chair seems like it might be a little cumbersome to move around, Slokoski's design was made for mobility. The Frame Chair sits on heavy-duty caster wheels, which are capable of braking so that the chair's position can easily be shifted. The visually-striking frame chair comes in several different finishes as well as larger options to seat more than one person at once. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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's Driving This Trend - **Illusory Furniture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create furniture pieces that blur the line between art and function. - **Highly Textured Furniture:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create furniture pieces that incorporate rich textures in unexpected ways for a unique sensory experience. - **Mobile Seating Solutions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create seating solutions that prioritize mobility and adaptability to meet changing needs in various environments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to transform traditional furniture manufacturing industry by incorporating new materials and techniques to create more visually striking and versatile pieces. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create unique and memorable interiors by incorporating furniture pieces that challenge conventional design norms and elevate spaces. - **Experiential Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation to create immersive retail experiences that incorporate furniture pieces with unexpected textures and aesthetic qualities to engage consumers and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colour Shift Clear Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-roller.md) - [Magnified Illusion Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Illusory Disconnected Component Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fly-armchair.md) - [Chaotically Natural Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkochgalam-chair.md) - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Floating Component Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-top-chair.md) - [Flatpack Ultra-Modular Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-chair.md) - [Dynamic Moving-Illusion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture.md)
