Each of the [cocoon-like hanging chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introvert-chair) are crafted from volcanic Basalt fibers that have been [woven and shaped](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) into a nest-like seat and sealed using natural resins. This creates a lightweight yet strong seat that will provide a [great place to relax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davidhugh-aiora). The 'Ibis' hanging seats are capable of absorbing UV light as well as electromagnetic and radio waves to protect a person while they are sitting in the chair. The 'Ibis' chairs are handmade and are the design work of industrial designer Raimonds Cirulis of the Maffam Freeform design workshop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Naturalistic Aesthetics:** Designing products with a naturalistic aesthetic offers opportunities to incorporate nature into various industries. - **Radiation Protection:** Creating products that can absorb UV light, electromagnetic waves, and radio waves opens up opportunities for innovative solutions in radiation protection. - **Lightweight Woven Materials:** Using lightweight woven materials like volcanic Basalt fibers provides opportunities for creating strong and durable products in different sectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** Developing hanging seats with naturalistic aesthetics can disrupt the furniture industry by offering unique and eco-friendly seating options. - **Home Decor:** Introducing radiation-protective hanging seats can bring disruptive innovations to the home decor industry, providing people with functional and stylish products. - **Industrial Design:** Utilizing lightweight woven materials can revolutionize the field of industrial design, enabling the creation of durable and versatile products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Natural Sound-Amplifying Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amplification-of-the-senses-chair.md) - [Fabric-Wrapped Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhe-rocking-chair.md) - [Wellbeing-Harnessing Fan-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanti-chair.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [Curved Bamboo Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-moon-chair.md) - [Arched Circular Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-chair.md) - [Otherworldly Themed Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ufo-rocking.md) - [Avian-Inspired Privacy Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peacock-chair-concept.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md)
