Available in [four bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stedelijk-chair), this bold furniture series dares to stand out with the [diversity of individuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flap-chair) as its underlying inspiration. Individuals' personalities, interactions and behavior are all reflected in these four pieces. Each chair is different from the other, not only in color but in shape, design as well as comfort. Each has a different function than the other, giving the furniture piece a sense of identity and distinction. Placed together, the Life Given Shape 'Individuale' collection resembles a family unit with green, blue, red and yellow chairs taking on the role of differing individuals. With differing shapes, looks and functions each furniture piece exhibits a varying sense of personality and character. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 37% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Color-blocked Furniture:** Designing color-blocked furniture is a disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture manufacturers to add new, quirky and bold designs to their collections. - **Customizable Furniture:** Creating customizable furniture inspired by individual personalities and behaviors presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for manufacturers to offer unique and characteristic furniture pieces. - **Multifunctional Furniture:** Designing furniture with multiple functions adds value and increases practicality which presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for manufacturers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can integrate color-blocking, customization, and multifunctionality into their current product lines to create new, innovative designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can suggest and demonstrate various quirky furniture designs that can be added to modern, contemporary home decor concepts for a unique and personalized aesthetic. - **Home Renovation:** Home renovators can take inspiration from color-blocked furniture collections to transform their interior spaces, using bold furniture pieces to add character to their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oblong Color-Blocked Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meritalia-morphologica-collection.md) - [Colorful Dense Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-objects-1.md) - [Sculptural Living Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cromatica.md) - [Color-Filled Aluminum Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-objects.md) - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md) - [Playful Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co.md) - [Vibrant '90s-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holloway-li.md) - [Colour Shift Clear Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-roller.md) - [Toy Block-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloc-collection.md)
