# Creased Seating The Origami Chair Mimics the Folds of the Traditional Paper Craft By Meghan Young | Published 2010-01-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-chair References: [todayandtomorrow.net](http://www.todayandtomorrow.net/2010/01/21/origami-chair/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) & [headsinc](http://headsinc.com/) As a big fan of [origami creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp), I’m not so surprised to see other, more talented individuals also drawn to such exotic crafts; take the aptly named [Origami Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series), for instance. Designed by So Takahashi, the Origami Chair features a pristine white material and [folded creases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldseat) like those found with paper crafts. Although I have very limited information, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the photos of the Origami Chair just as much as I do. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 65% | 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 - **Origami-inspired Furniture:** Designing furniture inspired by origami and incorporating folded creases for a unique aesthetic. - **Minimalist Seating:** Creating seating with clean lines, minimal materials, and simple designs for a modern look. - **Sculptural Furniture:** Crafting furniture with unique, sculptural shapes as a functional art piece. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Using origami-inspired design in furniture to create a unique and minimalist aesthetic. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating sculptural furniture with unique shapes into modern interiors for a bold statement. - **Art Installation Design:** Using sculptural furniture as functional art installations to create immersive environments and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singular Metal Sheet-Made Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-chair.md) - [Meticulous Paper-Stacked Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paragraphic-in-four-stacks.md) - [Origami-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series.md) - [Folded Paper-Inspired Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-stool.md) - [Practical Folding Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patan-chair.md) - [Ultra-Minimalist Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notch-folding-chair.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md) - [High-Quality Flatpack Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagoda-chair.md) - [Origami-Inspired Porcelain Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita.md)
