The Copenhagen-based designers Aleksej Iskos and Boris Berlin settled on a shell composed of 25% [wood fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair), 70% polypropylene and 5% colored polypropylene, a decision that took up the majority of their time over the two and a half year period Iskos-Berlin Fiber Chair was in development. The Iskos-Berlin Fiber Chair is currently available in several [subdued neutral tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-chair) and uses an array of particular, unique materials. While all the pine wood used is sourced from the same Swedish forest, the coloring of the fiber may differ if the wood is sourced even just 500 m apart. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Seating:** Designing chairs using eco-friendly materials to minimize waste and reduce carbon footprint. - **Innovative Material Composition:** Exploring new and unique materials and compositions to create functional and sustainable furniture. - **Consistent Sourcing:** Ensuring uniformity in sourcing materials to create sustainable furniture designs for consistency in quality and color. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Implementing sustainable materials and composition in furniture design to reduce environmental impact. - **Interior Design:** Using eco-friendly furniture options to enhance sustainable and environmentally conscious interior design. - **Manufacturing:** Exploring new materials and manufacturing processes to create functional and sustainable furniture products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Classic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ec127.md) - [Sustainably Minded Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conscious-chair.md) - [Recycled Mid-Century Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-shell-chairs.md) - [Sustainably Made Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixu-chair.md) - [Sustainable Plastic Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mare-chair.md) - [Sustainable Modern Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeitraum.md) - [Naturalistic Stainable Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daisee-chair.md) - [Stacking Hemp-Made Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-chair.md) - [Sophisticated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-chair-collection.md)
