And perhaps a drink in hand makes anything more bearable. Designed by Asedo Designs, the Loops Bench definitely has the [unique aspect working for it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr). Made from [rubber cordstock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entwined-objects), PETG plastic and maple wood, the Loops Bench does “fill a void in today’s market,” as American designer Aaron Asedo explains. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 12% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bungee Cord Seating:** Incorporating bungee cord components into furniture design to create a unique and unconventional appearance. - **Airy Aesthetic:** Designing furniture pieces with a floating, weightless appearance through the use of transparent and lightweight materials. - **Ergonomic Seating Alternatives:** Devising seating options that deviate from traditional, albeit painful ergonomic structures and utilize more malleable materials for a potentially more comfortable experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Experimenting with unconventional materials and designs to create unique and visually striking furniture. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating statement pieces like the Loops Bench into otherwise subdued spaces for an extra creative and personalized touch. - **Amusement Parks:** Incorporating furniture pieces inspired by adrenaline-inducing activities or attractions into their decor or rides to create an immersive experience for visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper Cord-Wrapped Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-bench.md) - [Tubular Organic-Formed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopy-chair.md) - [Pool Noodle-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furniture.md) - [Chic Recycled Aluminum Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bello-bench.md) - [Industrial Wrapped Plywood Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-bench.md) - [Fluid Wooden Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures.md) - [Cocoon-Inspired Bench Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gandan-bench.md) - [Minimal Wooden Webbed Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knot-stool.md) - [Playful Outdoor Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-raw-1.md)
