Striped with bold black and white grain ribbon wrapping, the back of the chair is custom painted for a new vibe on an [old classic Mid Century Widdicomb chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midcentury-chair-design). The seat has been outfitted with a plush orange cushion with a bright fuchsia print and the front legs have been painted bright orange as well. The pops of bright color along with the [mismatched patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-two-alike) makes this chair exquisitely over-the-top. The cheerful Gladys modern chair design is perfect as an exciting accent piece in any boldly decorated space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Refurbished Furniture:** Opportunity for disruptively innovating furniture by refurbishing and creating unique designs for modern consumers. - **Bold Patterns:** Opportunity for disruptively innovating furniture design by incorporating bold patterns to create unique and eye-catching pieces. - **Bold Colors:** Opportunity for disruptively innovating furniture design by incorporating bright and bold colors to make unique and attention-grabbing pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore refurbishing and creating unique designs to appeal to modern, design-conscious consumers. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can incorporate bold patterns and colors, like those seen in the Gladys chair, to create unique and exciting spaces. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can explore creating fun and sophisticated pieces of furniture like the Gladys chair, and incorporating unique designs and patterns to appeal to a wide range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boldly Colorful Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popo-chair.md) - [Fuzzy Modern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-modern-chair.md) - [Flamboyant Vintage-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiltana-armchair.md) - [Boldly Framed Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/percy-by-naughtone.md) - [Woven Midcentury Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kida-armchair.md) - [Cuvaceous Lined Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rita-arm-chair.md) - [Leftover Textile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-lounge-chair.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Post-Modern Experimental Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experiment-chair.md)
