# Scribble-Like Seating Loop de Loop by William Pedersen is Airily Sculptural By Meghan Young | Published 2014-05-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-de-loop References: [deconiche](http://www.deconiche.com/loopdeloop-chairs-william-pedersen/) & [loopdeloop.us](http://www.loopdeloop.us/) The [Loop de Loop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures) collection could be mistaken for a three-dimensional signature that happens to double as a series of furniture. Just like an identifying scrawl, at least for many, it coils and curves in an abstract manner. Nevertheless, it is not so abstract that a person can't determine the seat and backrest of the pieces that make up the Loop de Loop collection. Designed by William Pedersen, a founding design partner of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the Loop de Loop collection was created almost on a whim after he discovered a rusted steel bar in a field. Pedersen writes, "In a way I was looking for almost a Platonic idealization of 'chairness.' If successful, the conceptual idea could produce many types of chairs not just one. Loop de Loop represents this 'gesture in space.'" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Abstract Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in exploring unconventional forms and designs for furniture, creating unique and visually striking pieces. - **Platonic Chairness:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in developing chair designs that embody the essence of what a chair represents in its simplest form. - **Rustic Inspiration:** By repurposing and reimagining materials, there is room for disruptive innovation in furniture design that combines the charm of nostalgia with modern aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore new materials and unique forms to create visually captivating and functional pieces. - **Interior Design:** Innovative furniture designs can enhance interior spaces, creating conversation starters and unique focal points that set the tone for the entire room. - **Art and Sculpture:** Incorporating artistic elements into furniture design opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation that blurs the line between functional furniture and sculptures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tubular Organic-Formed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopy-chair.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) - [Pool Noodle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furniture.md) - [Industrial Playful Bright Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-color-2.md) - [Autobahn-Inspired Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winding-seating.md) - [Contemporary Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo-system.md) - [Asymmetric Linework-Based Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-collection.md) - [Circular Lounge Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunk-doughnut-chair.md)
