The seats are all achieved with a series of [sturdy cylindrical concrete bases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancora) that have been paired with wrought-metal upper seating area. This creates a sense of duality, while also providing a sense of playfulness that will work well with a variety of indoor or outdoor aesthetics. The 'MESH' seating also plays with shadow thanks to the solid base and [wire mesh upper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamping-chair) that will create contrasting castings when positioned strategically in an interior space or left out in the sun in an exterior environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Brutalist Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unconventional materials and combinations to create visually striking furniture designs. - **Heavy-duty Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop durable and long-lasting furniture solutions for both indoor and outdoor spaces. - **Playful Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate elements of playfulness and vibrancy to enhance the overall appeal of furniture designs. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer unique and unconventional furniture options to cater to the evolving tastes and preferences of homeowners. - **Outdoor Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative and durable seating solutions specifically designed for outdoor environments. - **Architectural Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with architects to create custom furniture pieces that incorporate both functionality and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Steel Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combchair.md) - [Contrasting Element Concrete Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conecto-modular-stool.md) - [Bold-Tonal Organic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressura.md) - [Sculptural Metal Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pul-collection.md) - [Utilitarian Matte Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutantes-series.md) - [Minimalist Steel-Frame Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelframe-seating.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Structural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-collection-1.md) - [Sculptural Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-public-seating.md) - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md)
