# Hollow Sheltering Seats The Nest (1:2:3:4) Chair is Modeled After the Matryoshka Nesting Doll By Meghan Young | Published 2011-04-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-1-2-3-4 References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/nest-1234-chair/) & [kirstenwhite](http://www.kirstenwhite.com/) The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair shows a very modern yet unique way of compromising furniture for space. Perfect for shoebox condos and bachelor apartments owned by people who love to have guests over, this chair actually holds three other ones within it. Designed by Kirsten White and built by Jeremy Cox and Lucas Brancalion, the Nest (1:2:3:4) chair seems modeled after the traditional matryoshka nesting doll, as each individual chair rests within a slightly bigger one. Since the chairs become significantly smaller through the layers, the Nest (1:2:3:4) chair is more suitable for family homes. With its playful design, and varied bright colors, the seat definitely fits well into children play areas and classrooms alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Space-saving Furniture:** The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair demonstrates the trend of designing furniture that maximizes space in small living areas. - **Nested Design:** The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair embodies the trend of incorporating nested or stacked elements in furniture design for added functionality. - **Playful and Versatile Seating:** The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair represents the trend of creating seating options that are visually appealing and suitable for various environments, including children play areas and classrooms. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair presents an opportunity for furniture manufacturers to explore space-saving designs and innovative nesting concepts. - **Interior Design:** The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair provides an opportunity for interior designers to recommend efficient furniture solutions for small living spaces without compromising style. - **Education and Childcare:** The Nest (1:2:3:4) chair offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for suppliers in the education and childcare industry to provide versatile and visually appealing seating options for classrooms and play areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Nesting Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozmo-1.md) - [Comforting Adaptable Sofa Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-bird-reincarnation-3way-sofa-bed.md) - [Flatpack Ultra-Modular Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-chair.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Ultra-Minimalist Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notch-folding-chair.md) - [Planet-Conscious Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn.md) - [Enveloping Nested Layer Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hug-armchair.md) - [Wooden Twin Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same.md) - [Hollow Multipurpose Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tailor-armchair.md)
