# Suspended Harp-Like Seating The Hanging Chair Brings Visual Harmony in a Contemporary Space By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guyon-hanging-chair References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/en/2013/11/04/hanging-chair/) & [lesateliers-guyon](http://www.lesateliers-guyon.com/) It's through pieces like the [Félix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-home-basics) Guyon Hanging Chair that one is reminded of the relationship between engineering and design of all scales. Here we have a [suspended seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr), but it seems to harken to the beauty of utilitarian forms like that of the suspension bridge. Les Atelier Guyon developed this highly contemporary furnishing with inspiration from a bygone era. The clean lines and abstract geometries found in the composition might remind you of the Art Deco period. A polygonal steel frame extrudes to one side to produce an effective perch, and this is spanned with a soft leather sling. The Hanging Chair is filled in with [repeated wires that crisscross](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) to produce a rhythmic aesthetic quality and offer additional support to the relaxed sitter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Suspended Seating:** Developing suspended seating for modern interiors with an emphasis on beauty and utilitarian forms - **Geo-abstract Furniture:** Designing furniture with a focus on abstract geometry and clean lines inspired by the Art Deco period - **Crisscrossing Wire Aesthetics:** Incorporating repeated wires in furniture designs to produce rhythmic aesthetic qualities and enhance comfort ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Creating modern and innovative furniture pieces for contemporary interiors with a focus on suspended seating and abstract geometries - **Interior Design:** Incorporating furniture designs that combine comfort, beauty, and utilitarian forms in modern interiors - **Metalworking and Wireworking:** Exploring crisscrossing wire aesthetics to create furniture pieces with enhanced aesthetic qualities and increased functionality ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peaceful Geometric Hanging Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iko-hanging-chair.md) - [Contemporary Leather Classic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-chair-1.md) - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Fabric-Wrapped Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhe-rocking-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Illusory Disconnected Component Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fly-armchair.md) - [Collaborative Drapey Upholstered Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidahida-chair.md) - [Ultra-Precise Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-design.md)
