The chair is achieved using a [single piece of American red oak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hug-chair-1) to ensure the utmost attention to durability, while also preventing waste related to building materials. The chair features a three-legged construction with a [tabletop built right into the backrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espattio-platero-rocking-table) to have it function as a side table when not being sat on. This also enables the sitter to position themselves backwards to work from the rear tabletop. The Migo Chair was crafted in the UK-based design-build company [BENCHMARK's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-for-the-trees) workshop and showcased at The Design Museum in London. The elegant chair is seen in several different finished ranging from raw to stark black. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 12% - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multifunctional Furniture:** Opportunity for companies to create furniture with multiple purposes to optimize space usage and minimize waste. - **Sustainable Woodworking:** Opportunity for woodworking companies to focus on using sustainable materials to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Innovative Backrests:** Opportunity for furniture designers to create backrests that serve additional functions and enhance the user's experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Companies can incorporate multifunctional aspects and sustainable materials into furniture design. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can suggest furniture options that optimize space usage and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Woodworking:** Woodworking companies can create furniture designs that incorporate innovative backrests and appeal to a variety of consumer preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Simple Multifunctional Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chairpf.md) - [One-Legged Structural Wooden Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pere-chair.md) - [Single-Piece Wooden Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-table-1.md) - [Bended Tubular Chair-Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-chair-concept.md) - [Transforming Stool-Integrated Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quartet-side-table.md) - [High-Quality Flatpack Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagoda-chair.md) - [Simplistically Shaped Geometric Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair.md) - [Storage-Attached Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-chair.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md)
