# Stone-Inspired Seating These Outdoor Chairs Use High Quality Material to Mimic Rock Formations By Gurveer Brah | Published 2015-08-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-chair References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/nature-inspired-outdoor-seating-kreoo/) & [kreoo](http://www.kreoo.com/living-room-seating-natural-marble-base-pave_stone/) Using natural materials, one designer has created outdoor chairs that blend functionality with tasteful decor. Created by Italian marble company [Kreoo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handchiseled-marble-basin) and designer Enzo Berti, the '[Pave Stone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pav-nite)' seat gives outdoor furniture a more natural aesthetic. As a marble company, Kreoo develops innovative ways to use marble in a variety of functional ways. Resembling authentic stones, these outdoor chairs enhance any backyard or poolside setting by adding functionality without interrupting the natural energy created by its surroundings. The nature-inspired seats use two natural layers -- a [marble base and a wood seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-frammenti) -- that overlap to complete an organic shape. The company has a reputation of high level designs that captures "extraordinary creativity and experimentation" -- a mantra that is illustrated with its sophisticated marble products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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's Driving This Trend - **Natural Material Furniture:** Opportunity for using natural materials in furniture design, creating a more organic and environmentally-friendly aesthetic. - **Functional Outdoor Decor:** Innovation in outdoor furniture that enhances the natural energy of outdoor spaces without sacrificing functionality. - **Marble Integration:** Exploring innovative ways to incorporate marble into furniture design for a sophisticated and unique look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Potential for disruptive innovation in creating furniture that blends seamlessly with outdoor environments. - **Outdoor Living:** Innovation opportunities for designing outdoor spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. - **Marble Manufacturing:** Exploring new applications of marble in various industries, such as furniture, to offer unique and luxurious products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Stone Fragment Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skrivo-for-miniforms-pinto.md) - [Stone Vein-Inspired Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ana-chair.md) - [Vibrant Modern Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-grande-muraglia-outdoor.md) - [Nature-Inspired Curvaceous Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roula-salamoun.md) - [Outdoor Scandinavian Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bste-lounge-chair.md) - [Playful Outdoor Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-raw-1.md) - [Handcrafted Stone Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-stool.md) - [Bright Colorful Structural Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels.md) - [Childhood-Inspired Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-outdoor-lounge.md)
