The chair is built on a [midcentury sled base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midcentury-chair-design), which supports the upper framework that has been wrapped in fibers to enhance comfort and style. The result is a cocoon-shaped seat perfect for use at a dining table, while the durable form supports being [used as outdoor furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/africa-collection), if desired. The chair comes in three color options to choose from. Burks commented on the 'Kida' armchair saying, "Kida is all about innovation and expressiveness. The use of wrapped Dedon fiber helps in providing color, character, attractiveness, and distinctive look to the armchair.” Image Credit: Dedon ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 22% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Distinct Midcentury Styling:** Embracing midcentury design elements with a focus on style and functionality, offering a unique twist for modern interiors. - **Innovative Fiber Wrapping:** Utilizing Dedon fiber wrapping for enhanced comfort and style, creating a visually appealing and distinctive seating solution. - **Adaptable Outdoor Furniture:** Designing versatile seating options that seamlessly transition between indoor and outdoor settings, catering to flexible living spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunities for furniture manufacturers to incorporate midcentury design cues and innovative materials for appealing and functional seating solutions. - **Interior Design:** Creating engaging interior spaces by integrating unique seating designs that blend midcentury aesthetics with contemporary comfort and versatility. - **Outdoor Living Products:** Exploring the potential of offering outdoor furniture pieces that combine durability, style, and adaptability for modern outdoor living environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Draped Fabric-Clad Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidahida.md) - [Collaborative Drapey Upholstered Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidahida-chair.md) - [Leftover Textile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-lounge-chair.md) - [Modernist Ski-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-chair.md) - [Cuvaceous Lined Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rita-arm-chair.md) - [Quirky Postmodern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ebba-armchair.md) - [Modern Furniture Series Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seashell-nuo.md) - [Cross-Cultural Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kensaku-oshiro.md) - [Softened Danish Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ter.md)
