# Flatpack Backpack Chairs The Nomadic Chair Disassembles for Surprising Portability By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomadic-chair References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Nomadic_chair_can_be_worn_like_a_backpack--Seating--Home.html) & [jorgepenades](http://www.jorgepenades.com/?/projects/Nomadic-Chair/) Looking at a fully assembled Nomadic Chair, would you have ever guessed that it would fall into the category of [portable perches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patan-chair)? It has an apparently solid structure and many timber components, so it really is a wonder that it can be completely collapsed. This project by Jorge Penadés is an exploration of [temporary furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nstel-the-chair), uniting the modern interests in portability and sturdiness of structure. Many pieces of [solid ash wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pere-chair) have been put together with straps and powder-coated steel for a flat seat, a slanted backrest and four stable legs. In just two minutes' time, you can take apart the Nomadic Chair, bind it up to the dimensions of a backpack and carry it with you to wherever you'd like to sit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Furniture:** Opportunity to create innovative, collapsible furniture solutions that are portable and easy to assemble. - **Minimalist Design:** Opportunity to design furniture with minimal components and sleek aesthetics, without compromising on functionality. - **Modular Accessories:** Opportunity to create furniture pieces that can be disassembled into modular accessories for easy transportation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for furniture designers to create portable, collapsible furniture that meets the needs of modern nomadic lifestyles. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity for outdoor recreation companies to integrate portable seating solutions into camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate minimalistic and space-efficient furniture options into small living spaces or flexible office environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Purpose Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-a.md) - [Compact Foldable Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-lander.md) - [High-Quality Flatpack Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagoda-chair.md) - [Featherweight Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-chair.md) - [Automatic Setup Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naturehike-snap-chair.md) - [Industrial Flatpack Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekron-folding-chair.md) - [Pocket-Sized Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-sized-chair.md) - [Bold Mobile Work Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omniseat-portable-productivity.md) - [Durable One-Piece Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-camping-chair.md)
