# Sculpted Petal Seating Andrés Reisinger's Pink Armchair is Made with 20,000 Fabric Petals By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-12-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-armchair References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/12/13/andres-reisinger-hortensia-chair-design/) & [reisinger.studio](http://www.reisinger.studio/) In 2018, Andrés Reisinger shared a 3D rendering for the Hortensia chair on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-out), and the virtual [pink armchair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poodle-armchair) has since been featured in design magazines, initiating orders for a real version of the dreamy furniture piece. As Reisinger describes, "I have been working with 3D softwares for more than 10 years now. When I reached that goal in my digital work, I knew that my next challenge was to stop imagining and really start building the world as I see it." Now, a tangible version of the Hortensia chair has been brought to life with 20,000 [fabric petals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flore) and is on display at Barcelona's Montoya gallery. The finished version of the chair is a hyper-realistic version of the rendered design, which is as plush and cloud-like as ever.
