# Deep-Set Seating The Cho Hyung Suk Modernatique Chair is Both Modern and Antique By Meghan Young | Published 2011-01-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernatique-chair References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2011/01/modernatique-chair-set-cho-hyung-suk/) & [chohyungsuk](http://www.chohyungsuk.com) There is definitely something both modern and antique about the Modernatique chair. I think its [minimalist design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair) is more [contemporary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-urquiola-x-andreu-world-bolete) while its shape and lines hark back to [another era](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-chair). Created by Korean designer Cho Hyung Suk, the Modernatique chair is available in two version: black with walnut accents and white with ash accents. It was recently showcased at the Korea Design Festival 2010 in Seoul, Korea. I'm sure it garnered a lot of attention due to its intriguing simplicity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating sleek and simple furniture designs. - **Contemporary Aesthetics:** Potential for pushing the boundaries of modern aesthetics through a fusion of old and new. - **Attention-grabbing Simplicity:** Chance to disrupt the market by focusing on minimalistic yet visually striking pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating furniture that combines modern and antique elements. - **Interior Design:** Potential for disrupting the interior design industry with minimalist furniture pieces that exude a modern yet timeless feel. - **Home Decor:** Chance to disrupt the home decor market by offering simple and elegant furniture pieces that appeal to a wide range of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernist Ski-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-chair.md) - [Aesthetically Pleasing Minimalist Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-chairs.md) - [Chaotically Natural Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkochgalam-chair.md) - [Luxurious Minimal Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-minimal-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Slick Futuristic Chair Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classical-norwegian-design.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Simplistic Seating Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstool.md) - [Modernized Rocking Chair Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodding-chair.md)
