# Lightweight Foldable Seats The Möbel Chair is Constructed Using Recycled Industrial Felt Materials By Amy Duong | Published 2018-07-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mbel-chair References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/mobel-a-modern-foldable-chair-that-can-move-with-you/) & [stytianyi](http://stytianyi.com/mbel/) The Möbel chair is designed by Tianyi Shi and Max Hampton-Fischer, with a structure that moves along with the person sitting in it. Its form allows itself to [fold up to be simply transported](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patan-chair) from one place to another. To make matters even easier, the furniture piece is extremely lightweight, weighing at only 19.8 lbs. It is constructed from [recycled industrial felt materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia) -- it forms together to create a [honeycomb design pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kartela) when it expands. The felt layers up to give the furniture structure strength and durability to seat up to two people at once while keeping its weight down. In order to keep everything in its place, there are metal snaps to keep the form as a seat when needed; the design can also be unsnapped, flattened out and made transportable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Lightweight Furniture:** Opportunities for designing furniture that is easily transportable and lightweight using sustainable materials. - **Foldable Design:** Innovation in furniture design that allows for collapsible and easily storable furniture. - **Recycled Materials:** Opportunities for using industrial waste as a viable material for furniture design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Industry:** Designing furniture with innovative features that cater to the needs of consumers looking for portable and lightweight furniture. - **Sustainability Industry:** Manufacturing furniture that uses sustainable materials will help reduce industrial waste and cater to eco-conscious consumers. - **Interior Design Industry:** Incorporating furniture that is easily movable and transformable into interior design concepts allows for flexible living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Scissor-Like Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauld-chair.md) - [Sustainable Felt Stack Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacklab.md) - [Legless Floor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bold-chair.md) - [Compact Foldable Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-lander.md) - [Cubic Featherlight Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-hold-up-chair.md) - [Sustainable Felt Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-felt-furniture.md) - [Dynamic Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldont-chair.md) - [Ultra-Minimalist Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notch-folding-chair.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md)
