The chair, which was featured at [Milan Design Week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelierzero), has grooves in its back so that the metal pieces can slide together. The grooves allow for a [screw-less assembly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songmics-home-toolless-collection), which grants the consumer a valuable element of ease and convenience, a luxury most furniture items don't provide. Spelleken was inspired to make his screw-less chair to provide manufacturers with furniture that's easier to transport. The [flat pack chair's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1) compact design allows for fast shipping that requires minimal packaging. The Heureka chair is made with beechwood and metal frames -- materials that are synonymous with strength and durability -- providing the consumer with a chic and functional item. Space-saving chairs appeal to a market of urban Millennials who value eco-friendly solutions, functionality and convenience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Screw-less Furniture:** The trend of screw-less furniture is disrupting the traditional manufacturing process by providing easy assembly and transportation. - **Flat-pack Designs:** Flat-pack designs are disrupting the furniture industry by offering more efficient storage and transportation. - **Space-saving Solutions:** Space-saving solutions are a growing trend among urban Millennials who are looking for eco-friendly and functional furniture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturing companies can embrace screw-less furniture to offer cost-effective, easy to assemble and easy to ship products. - **Logistics and Shipping:** Companies in the logistics and shipping can adopt flat-pack designs to offer more efficient transportation and reduce costs. - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies can leverage space-saving solutions to meet the demand of urban Millennials for eco-friendly and functional furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simple Assembly Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yugan.md) - [Flatpack Single-Piece Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-chair-set.md) - [Flat-Packed Wooden Stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-stool-concept.md) - [Flatpack Tool-Free Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nstel-the-chair.md) - [Hardware-Free Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurt-table.md) - [Simplistic Fastening Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easystory.md) - [Single-Piece Wooden Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-table-1.md) - [Simplistic Wooden Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nuo.md) - [Minimal Geometric Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/euclid-chair.md)
