With its wide embracing frames, contained cushions and slim legs, it would fit into any [contemporary home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-pipe) instantly. Nevertheless, the materials used to create each piece is not so typical. As its name gives away, the collection utilizes [nets that stretch over wireframes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-structures) for a unique upholstered look. Designed by Cate & Nelson, a design studio based in London, England, the Netframe for Offecct furniture collection is comprised of a [sofa and easy chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-pawson-and-herman-miller). According to the creators, the "idea behind Netframe was to create a piece of furniture that consumes as little material as possible while maintaining a high comfort." They certainly achieved that goal with flair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Minimal Materialization:** Designing modern furniture collections using minimal materials for a sleeker look and cutting down production costs for the companies - **Innovative Upholstery:** Incorporating net and wireframes into furniture design to create unique upholstered looks, and providing the company with new ways to differentiate their products from competitors - **Contemporary Aesthetics:** Using wide frames and slim legs to create modern furniture designs, capturing the attention of younger generations and enhancing perceived value for the company ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Innovating with new materials and designing fresh styles to keep up with changing consumer needs and maintain relevance in the furniture industry - **Interior Design:** Integrating modern furniture collections with minimal materials and sleek design elements into interior spaces to create a contemporary aesthetic - **Sustainable Design:** Driving the importance of sustainability in furniture manufacturing by incorporating eco-friendlier materials and minimizing the environmental impact of production processes ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wireframed-Based Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lines-series.md) - [Minimalist Steel-Frame Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelframe-seating.md) - [Playful Sustainable Lounge Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-collection-1.md) - [Nature-Inspired Lounge Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayland-guest-lounge.md) - [Architect-Designed Thoughtful Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norman-foster2.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Minimalist Upcycled Aluminum Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truss-furniture.md) - [Modular Knit Seating Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one.md) - [Sculptural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-of-form.md)
