# Sculptural Hollowed Seating The Mod Lounger is Colorful and Playful By Meghan Young | Published 2012-05-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-lounger References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/get-out-mod-lounger-by-offi/) & [offi](http://www.offi.com/) The Mod Lounger is a fun and [sculptural outdoor seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-outdoor-furniture) option that will add a pop of vibrant color in an otherwise lush green setting. Shaped almost like a cartoonish rocking chair, the [colorful seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popo-chair) is full of [rounded edges and voluptuous curves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rokko). There is a childlike sensibility to the design that makes the Mod Lounger especially perfect for families. Nevertheless, it is funky enough to be appreciated by the young-at-heart as well. Designed by Lisa Albin, the head of Brooklyn-based studio Iglooplay, the Mod Lounger was created for New York-based Offi. Made out of durable rotational-molded polyethylene, the Mod Lounger is available in six bold colors: pink, orange, blue, green, white and black. Although great for the home, the Mod Lounger can be found in hotels, schools and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Colorful Outdoor Seating:** There is an opportunity to innovate outdoor furniture design by creating seating that is both functional and visually appealing with an emphasis on bright colors and playful shapes. - **Sculptural Furniture Design:** Designers can explore creating sculptural furniture pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional, appealing to those who appreciate unique and quirky furniture pieces. - **Child-like Sensibility:** Incorporating a child-like sensibility into product design offers a niche market opportunity for furniture makers who target families and those who love playful products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Furniture:** The outdoor furniture industry can leverage the trend of creating colorful seating options that are playful and durable, offering a new value proposition for customers. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can benefit from incorporating sculptural designs into their production process, reaching those who desire unique furniture pieces that double as art. - **Hospitality:** With the versatility of the Mod Lounger, the hospitality industry can consider implementing sculptural seating into their venues, adding a unique touch to their establishments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Cushioned Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-outdoor-seating.md) - [Traditional Vibrant Outdoor Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/net-lounge.md) - [Modular Bulbous Lounge Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundae-modular-lounge.md) - [Moon-Inspired Modular Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wigiwama.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Tubular Organic-Formed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopy-chair.md) - [Surf-Inspired Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laun-x-chet-architecture-mondos.md) - [Childhood-Inspired Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-outdoor-lounge.md) - [Playful Outdoor Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-raw-1.md)
