# Shelf-Topped Chairs The Object-A by Seung-Yong Song is a Playful Combo of Storage and Seating By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objecta-by-seungyong-song References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/04/11/w-hotels-designers-of-the-future-award-2013-winners-announced/) & [seungyongsong](http://www.seungyongsong.com/) What you get with Object-A by Seung-Yong Song is a whimsical [storage solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life) that doesn't require installation against a wall, and nor does it take up any valuable interior space with its footprint. You might even consider that the shelf component does not actually have a footprint at all. Beautiful white birch wood was used to construct each [lovely armchair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedia-tonda) and, while it embodies its own subtle flair, the real unique feature is its extraordinary backrest. Bridged together by a support for the sitter in the form of a rectangular panel, two timber components rise up above the seat, bow slightly forward and offshoot into four branches on each side that frame a series of ledges. Object-A by Seung-Yong Song offers a convenient, mobile, [space-saving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table) and charming formula for the arrangement of assorted possessions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whimsical Storage Solutions:** The trend of incorporating playful and unconventional storage options into furniture designs. - **Space-saving Furniture:** The trend of creating furniture that maximizes space and reduces clutter in small living areas. - **Multi-functional Designs:** The trend of combining multiple functionalities into one piece of furniture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for furniture designers to create innovative and practical storage solutions. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to utilize space-saving furniture to optimize living spaces. - **Home Organization:** Opportunity for home organization companies to provide customers with innovative storage solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Storage-Equipped Restaurant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rack-chair.md) - [Modular Table Seatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-table-and-chair.md) - [Antitheft Storage Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afford-chair.md) - [Wooden Twin Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same.md) - [Cozy Storage-Focused Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pocket-chair.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-chair-design.md) - [Dual-Function Seating Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-stool.md)
