# Disemboweled Furniture The Loop Chair is a Knitted Rug/Chair from Sophie De Vocht By Michael Hines | Published 2010-11-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-chair References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662633/worlds-um-loopiest-chair-doubles-as-a-rug) & [sophiedevocht](http://www.sophiedevocht.com/) I have never seen a chair that looks quite like The Loop Chair. This chair was designed by Dutch design student Sophie de Vocht as a hybrid chair/rug. The Loop Chair is made out of [1,000 feet of yarn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs), wrapped around [wired mesh](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-chair-concept). More than half of the chair lies sprawled out on the floor, while the other half is more put together and has a more conventional look. The Loop Chair may look loopy, but it is actually being put into production next year by the Italian company Casmania. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Disemboweled Furniture:** Opportunity to create unconventional furniture designs that combine functionality with artistic creativity. - **Hybrid Chair/rug:** Potential for merging different furniture concepts to create innovative and multi-functional pieces. - **Knitted Furniture:** Growing trend of incorporating textiles and yarn into furniture design for a unique and cozy aesthetic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Chance for furniture manufacturers to explore new and unconventional designs that push the boundaries of traditional furniture production. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate unconventional furniture pieces that blend art and functionality into their projects. - **Textiles and Yarn:** Potential for textile and yarn manufacturers to collaborate with furniture designers to create unique and knitted furniture pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tubular Organic-Formed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopy-chair.md) - [Chunky Knitted Quilted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitty-chair.md) - [Pool Noodle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furniture.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Fluid Wooden Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures.md) - [Plush Tubular Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furniture-collection.md) - [Circular Lounge Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunk-doughnut-chair.md) - [Sustainable 3D-Printed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-loop-lounge-chair.md) - [Ultra-Precise Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-design.md)
