# Racecar-Inspired Seating The Rad Monte Carlo Chair Has You Riding Comfortably Low By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-03-14 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-carlo-chair References: [olagiertz.se](http://www.olagiertz.se/showProject.php?id=4) Shift your weight back into the Monte Carlo Chair and you may discover that this contemporary seat is intended for the young and fit. Because it's angled very close to the ground, one can find it difficult to crouch down and to emerge from the [low lounger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi) without a bit of extra work on the part of his arms and legs. What Ola Giertz strove to recreate in this recliner was the experience of sitting in the driver's seat of a Monte Carlo race car. Your hips are back, your knees are up and your posture is kept recumbent. The [unique form of the armchair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monk-armchair) is composed from what might have been a single rectangular panel, with the backrest and the seat bent inwards for support. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Low-seating Chair Design:** As seen with the Monte Carlo Chair, there is an opportunity to innovate upon seating that is angled close and low to the ground for a unique posture and comfort experience. - **Racecar-inspired Furniture:** The creation of the Monte Carlo Chair shows potential for a trend in creating furniture inspired by racecar design for a unique and stylish piece. - **Recumbent Posture Seating:** The Monte Carlo Chair's design offers a new take on seating positioning for ultimate comfort, opening the door for new innovation in creating posture-enhancing furniture. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in this industry have an opportunity to experiment with new seating angles and styles inspired by racecar design to revolutionize comfort in furniture. - **Automotive Design:** Automotive designers can utilize their knowledge of racecar seating and posture to create innovative furniture designs, such as the Monte Carlo Chair. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate the trend of racecar-inspired furniture like the Monte Carlo Chair into their designs, catering to those seeking unique and stylish pieces for their homes or workplaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Driver Seat-Inspired Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-office-chair.md) - [Carbon Fiber Gaming Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-monocell-edition.md) - [Ergonomic Luxe Comfortable Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lounge-chair-1.md) - [Premium Ergonomic Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recaro.md) - [Automotive-Themed Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotrod-gaming-chair.md) - [Modular Gaming Cockpit Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playseat-trophy-logitech-g-edition-sim-racing-seat.md) - [Luxury Automotive Brand Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aston-martin-v244-lounge-chair.md) - [Luxe Car-Collaborative Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pinnacle.md) - [Opulent Robotic Gamer Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moiin-robodesk-gaming-chair.md)
