# Cubic Patchwork Chairs Annika Goransson's Mosaiik Lounge Chair is Inspired by Corncobs By Meghan Young | Published 2011-02-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaiik-lounge-chair References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2011/02/03/mosaiik-lounge-chair-by-annika-goransson/) & [annikagoransson](http://www.annikagoransson.com/) Although the Mosaiik Lounge Chair has a [patchwork appeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kartela), I think the fact that it was inspired by corncobs and sunflower buds makes it even more unique. Once you know that tidbit of information, you can't help but make that textural association. Created by Swedish design student Annika Göransson, the Mosaiik Lounge Chair boasts 297 [foam cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yay-chair). I especially love how she has chosen to upholster this chair. By using [sections of wool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs), she creates a smooth seat surface while the underbelly is left rough and unfinished. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Patchwork Furniture Design:** Designing furniture using patchwork to create unique textures and aesthetics inspired by natural elements like corncobs and sunflower buds. - **Foam Cube Furniture:** Creating furniture pieces with foam cubes for versatility in design and comfort. - **Natural-inspired Design:** Designing furniture with inspiration from natural elements and materials for a unique and eco-friendly aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturing furniture pieces with unique texture and aesthetic using innovative patchwork and foam cube techniques. - **Interior Design:** Using natural-inspired furniture like the Mosaiik Lounge Chair to enhance interior designs with a unique twist. - **Sustainable Design:** Incorporating natural materials and sources of inspiration into furniture designs for an eco-friendly approach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chunky Knitted Quilted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitty-chair.md) - [Modular Knit Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Curvaceous Padded Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talk-chair.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Quirky Postmodern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ebba-armchair.md) - [Ultra-Precise Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-design.md) - [Eco-Friendly Pouf Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rio-pouffe.md) - [Ultra-Slick Modern Cube Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-cube-chair.md)
