# Seamen-Inspired Seating Konstantin Grcic's 'Netscape' Will Have You Trawling for Seats By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konstantin-grcic References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2010/12/09/netscape-by-konstantin-grcic-at-design-miami/) & [konstantin-grcic](http://www.konstantin-grcic.com/) I can't help but think of trawling nets when I see Konstantin Grcic's 'Netscape.' Konstantin Grcic created 'Netscape' for [Design Miami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flap-chair) after being named its designer of the year. 'Netscape' was designed to promote social interaction and give visitors to Design Miami a novel place to sit. Konstantin Grcic's design is one that I hope to see expanded upon and possibly rolled out for public use. The nets of 'Netscape' look a lot more comfortable and inviting than the cold concrete benches in most public places. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Seamen-inspired Seating:** Konstantin Grcic's 'Netscape' brings a unique design approach to seating, inspiring potential trends in the furniture industry. - **Promoting Social Interaction:** The focus on social interaction in 'Netscape' suggests a trend towards developing seating options that encourage connection and conversation. - **Comfortable Public Seating:** The more comfortable and inviting design of 'Netscape' highlights a trend towards improving the comfort of public seating areas. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Konstantin Grcic's 'Netscape' presents opportunities for innovation and disruption in the furniture design industry. - **Public Space Design:** The idea of more comfortable and inviting public seating areas as seen in 'Netscape' opens up new possibilities in the public space design industry. - **Event Design:** The use of 'Netscape' as a novel seating option at Design Miami suggests opportunities for disruptive innovation in event design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-public-seating.md) - [Traditional Vibrant Outdoor Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/net-lounge.md) - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [3D-Printed Upcycled Net Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kelp-chair.md) - [Artful Dynamic Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-sofa.md) - [Future-Facing Tech Brand Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-chair.md) - [Recycled Resin Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cresta.md) - [Playful Public Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-public-seating.md)
