# Retro Car-Inspired Seating Dzmitry Samal's Oxoye Chair Boasts a Sleek, Sophisticated Silhouette By Meghan Young | Published 2011-04-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oxoye-chair References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/oxoye-chair-by-dzmitry-samal/) & [samaldesign](http://www.samaldesign.com/) There is something very classic about the Oxoye Chair, probably because it was inspired by [retro car designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danish-midcentury-modern). However, it does still boast a [sleek, sophisticated silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-chair-collection) that speaks to a more contemporary frame of mind. Therefore, the Oxoye Chair embodies the best of both worlds. Created by Paris-based Belorussian designer Dzmitry Samal for the French furniture company Soca, the Oxoye Chair has dramatic, [sweeping arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomo-armchair) that are clearly modeled after the metal frame that often hung over the tires of vintage vehicles. Made out of wood and polywood with metallic parts and high-resilience foam, the Oxoye Chair is an essay in both style and comfort, perfect for any living space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Classic-inspired Design:** Opportunity for incorporating retro elements in modern designs. - **Sleek Silhouette:** Demand for furniture designs with clean and sophisticated lines. - **Blend of Style and Comfort:** Growing market for furniture that combines aesthetic appeal with comfort. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Potential for incorporating retro car-inspired design elements in furniture production. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity to create unique and eye-catching spaces using classic-inspired furniture pieces. - **Automotive Accessories:** Market for car accessories inspired by vintage vehicle designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supercar-Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prova-mo53-lounge.md) - [Slick Futuristic Chair Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classical-norwegian-design.md) - [Refined Aerodynamic Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osier-lounge.md) - [Chunky Curvaceous Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/001-chair.md) - [Angularly Ergonomic Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sova-lounge-chair.md) - [Dynamic Futuristic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polarisgo-chair.md) - [Chic Recycled Waste Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-chair.md) - [Retro-Tinged Elegant Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karakter.md) - [Industrial Exterior Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osier-lounge-chair.md)
