This striking modern chair is presented as part of the [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair) x The Mindcraft Project 2022 collaboration, which is a showcase organized by Dezeen and the [Copenhagen Design Agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindcraft-project) (CDA). Titled the Maestro Chair, the piece was created by Danish furniture designer Rasmus B. Fex.

The silhouette of the modern chair draws cues from [music and tailcoat tuxedos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throne-x). While the "split down the length of the back [of the seating furniture] is reminiscent of the split in an orchestra conductor's tailcoat tuxedo," Rasmus B. Fex created "ample space between the [wooden] planks to represent pauses in musical scores."

The silhouette of the Maestro Chair is eye-catching in its geometrical expression. The designer used blackened Douglas pine planks, steel, and leather for the creation of this piece. The material choice evokes a degree of elegance.
