The 'Axis' seat features a support frame that is flanked by rippled cushions that are lined with leather that's found in MA-1 bomber jackets. The [arc base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcata) of the 'Axis' seat consists of five unibody legs that help to provide support, consistency and balance for the furniture piece. The 'Axis' lounger seat features an overall avant-garde design aesthetic that looks more like a post-modern piece of equipment than a piece of furniture. This helps to enhance the overall ultra-modern design of the unit to make it suitable for [minimalist homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-perron-bun) that are in need of relaxed seating. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 44% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Furniture Design:** There's an opportunity to create furniture designs that draw inspiration from futuristic concepts to create avant-garde and ultra-modern pieces. - **Aviation-inspired Aesthetics:** Incorporating aviation-inspired elements into furniture design can provide a unique and visually striking aesthetic. - **Post-modern Minimalism:** Combining post-modern design elements with minimalist concepts can result in furniture pieces that are both stylish and functional. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore innovative designs inspired by aviation and futuristic concepts to create cutting-edge products. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate aviation-inspired furniture into their projects to create visually dynamic spaces. - **Fashion and Home Decor:** Fashion and home decor industries can explore collaborations to bring the leather lining from MA-1 bomber jackets into furniture design, creating a unique blend of fashion and functional art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mid-Century Sculpted Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plane-lounge-chair.md) - [Architectural Dynamic Vintage Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egoist-chaise.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Illusory Disconnected Component Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fly-armchair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Slick Futuristic Chair Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classical-norwegian-design.md) - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Flexible Landscape-Like Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airberg-sofa-collection.md)
