# Metal-Framed Wood Seating The Geek Chair by MUNKII is Far From Geeky By Meghan Young | Published 2013-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geek-chair References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/geek-chair-wang-and-wang-wire-lounger-by-munkii/) & [munkii.sg](http://munkii.com.sg/geek.php) There is nothing geeky about the Geek Chair. Instead, it has a sleek and sophisticated look that is only enhanced by its unique use of metal and wood. As though in the midst of changing from one material into another (the viewer can judge which is becoming more dominant) the Geek Chair may be simple, but the construction is clearly much more complicated. The Geek Chair was designed by Jaren Goh of Munkii, a studio based in Singapore. Made out of maple wood and matte finished steel rods, it is available in two colors: black and white. Perfect for contemporary spaces in both the home and office, the Geek Chair can be finished with an optional felt cushion that comes in different colors for added comfort. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Metal-framed Wood Seating:** Opportunity to create innovative furniture designs that combine the sleekness of metal with the warmth of wood. - **Sleek and Sophisticated Design:** Disruptive potential for creating modern furniture pieces that blend elegance with simplicity. - **Optional Cushion Add-ons:** Opportunity to develop customizable seating options with additional comfort features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Innovative metal and wood combinations can revolutionize the furniture industry with modern and stylish designs. - **Interior Design:** Sleek and sophisticated furniture pieces can disrupt the interior design industry by offering contemporary options for both homes and offices. - **Home Decor:** Customizable seating options with cushion add-ons can redefine the home decor industry by providing personalized and comfortable solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Future-Facing Tech Brand Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-chair.md) - [Leather-Accented Industrial Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l1-chair-from-object-leuci.md) - [Sleek Steel Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combchair.md) - [Minimal Geometric Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/euclid-chair.md) - [High-End Headphones-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-chair-design.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Gooseneck-Inspired Industrial Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dgc-1.md) - [Music-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-chair1.md) - [Table-Equipped Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migo-chair.md)
