It may be a risky bet to sit on the Opa Chair from Daniel Levin. This [stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loki-stool) does look stylish, but I question its sturdiness.

The Opa Chair is [origami-inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-folding-stool), which explains the paper-thin physique and [sharp angles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-chair) predominantly featured here. This seat is sure to bring life life into any room with its exotic design. It still looks a little sketchy to sit on, but I'll try anything once.
