Although still fairly young, Form Us With Love manages to designs contemporary yet timeless products that is exemplified in this IKEA chair collection. Dubbed Janinge, the Ikea chair collection had to satisfy a number of requirements. The Stockholm-based studio says, "IKEA asked us to design something specific enough for a home that would withstand the international tests for public seating." These included designing for strength, durability, impact, drops, tilts and stability. The IKEA chair collection adheres to these and more including style and, of course, function. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 5% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stylish Seating Design:** Opportunities for incorporating strength, durability, style and function into furniture design. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** Designing furniture that can satisfy both home and public seating requirements. - **Contemporary Timelessness:** Combining modern and timeless aesthetics in furniture design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Designing furniture with durability and style for both home and public spaces. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating multi-functional and versatile furniture into interior design for both residential and commercial spaces. - **Product Manufacturing:** Meeting international testing standards for durable furniture design and production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Nordic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-chair-design.md) - [Modern Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-revealed.md) - [Retro Vibrant Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytillverkad.md) - [Modern Scandinavian Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fogias-collection.md) - [Kitchen-Inspired Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pole-collection.md) - [Scandinavian Design-Inspired Chair Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orns-chair.md) - [Expanding Nostalgic Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeas-nytillverkad.md) - [Cozy 60s-Inspired Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-dyvlinge.md) - [Classical Elegant Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eriksberg.md)
