The seat can be flipped around to provide a new or "fresh" seat for every customer. Not only that but with a seat sticking out the back of the chair, the Fresh Chair can provide a [dual seating solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster). Though it was inspired by a barber's chair the Fresh Chair by Piet Bogaards wouldn't work well inside a salon. According to Bogaards, “Nobody likes to take a warm seat that was occupied by somebody else.” I'm not sure how true this statement is but if [public seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair) could apply this theme I'd sure be happy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dual Seating Solutions:** The Fresh Chair by Piet Bogaards provides a dual seating solution by having a seat sticking out the back of the chair. - **Personalized Seating Experience:** The Fresh Chair allows for a new or 'fresh' seat for every customer, avoiding the discomfort of sitting on a warm seat previously occupied by someone else. - **Inspiration From Barber's Chairs:** The Fresh Chair draws inspiration from barber's chairs, offering a unique and innovative design for seating solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore producing dual seating solutions like the Fresh Chair to cater to customers looking for versatile seating options. - **Public Seating:** The concept of personalized seating experience can be applied to public spaces like parks, bus stops, and airports to provide a more comfortable and hygienic seating environment. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can take inspiration from the Fresh Chair's barber chair design and create innovative seating arrangements in various commercial and residential spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wooden Twin Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same.md) - [Naturalistic Grass-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flip-chair.md) - [Table-Equipped Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migo-chair.md) - [Transforming Child Stool Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipflap-childrens-chair.md) - [Versatile Dynamic Armchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-armchair.md) - [Recycled Scissor-Like Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauld-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Adventurous Versatile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat.md) - [Simplistically Shaped Geometric Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair.md)
