If you like design and home dÃ©cor, then staring at bland furniture can really put a downer on your day. HwaSung Yoo of Mars (the company, not the planet) has designed this [extraordinary looking chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair) called 'Frost.'

Although there is a distinct [frost pattern on the chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-collection-1), the design looks like [miniature puzzle pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-furniture) to me. Inspired by the phenomenon of freezing, HwaSung Yoo's 'Frost' Chair embraces the essence of modernized furniture.

**Implications** - This design product is a great business opportunity for industries that are looking to create new products from old ideas. The shift in the industry for products that are unique uses a simple idea to reinvent basics like a desk and chair. This product marries the use of two everyday objects to create one very unique one.
