The cushion is an [inflatable air-bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-aero-couch) made from sleek PVC and er, air. The [inflated air cushion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zlounger) reminds one of beach or pool floating pads. The rest of the chair is stained beechwood. Although care must be taken with sharp objects in the pockets, the Chair-air is easy to clean - just wipe with a damp cloth! Nathan Wierink of The Netherlands is the designer of this quirky chair. He and another designer, Tineke Beunders come together as the design group, Ontwerpduo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Inflatable Furniture:** The trend of inflatable furniture provides opportunities for creating portable and space-saving seating solutions. - **Sleek PVC:** The use of sleek PVC materials in furniture design opens up opportunities for creating lightweight and easy-to-clean seating options. - **Quirky Design:** The trend of quirky and unique furniture designs allows for innovative and eye-catching seating solutions that stand out. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can explore the production of inflatable furniture to cater to the demand for portable and space-saving seating solutions. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate sleek PVC materials in their designs to create modern and easy-to-maintain furniture pieces. - **Home Decor and Furnishings:** The home decor and furnishings industry can capitalize on the trend of quirky designs by offering unique and visually appealing seating options for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflatable Adirondack-Style Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-aerorondak-chair.md) - [Portable Air-Filled Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofa-made-from-air.md) - [Ergonomic Inflated Reclined Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-faurebrac.md) - [Automated Inflation Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerogogo-ps1.md) - [Automatic Self-Inflating Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfinflating-furniture.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Cubic Featherlight Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-hold-up-chair.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pouf Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rio-pouffe.md) - [Balloon-Like Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seungjin-yang.md)
