# Tiptoe Seating The Power Shoulder Chair by Jongho Park Seems to be Walking on Eggshells By Meghan Young | Published 2010-08-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-shoulder References: [plusmood](http://plusmood.com/2010/08/power-shoulder-jongho-park/) The Power Shoulder chair brings to mind spiders and ballerinas, two things that I never thought would ever compare to each other. Although it's the [pointy-toed legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sway-chair) that bring these similarities to mind, this design was not inspired by either; instead, it's based on the [power suit jacket of the 80s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parka-sofa). Designed by Jongho Park, the Power Shoulder chair relies on key features of the retro fashion piece. According to Plus Mood, it focuses on "exaggerated emphasis, chic style, sophisticated line and understated angles." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% 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 - **Power-shoulder Seating:** Design furniture with exaggerated angles and sophisticated styles inspired by retro fashion pieces. - **Fashion-inspired Furniture:** Create furniture designs inspired by the retro fashion styles of past decades. - **Pointy-toed Legs Furniture:** Incorporate pointy-toed legs into furniture designs for a unique and attention-grabbing look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Furniture companies can create new lines of seating and upholstery inspired by vintage fashion trends. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can use their expertise in trends and styles to create furniture designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate retro fashion-inspired furniture into their creative projects for clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ergonomic Butterfly-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-chair.md) - [Anatomical Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Chaotically Natural Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkochgalam-chair.md) - [Marbles-Inspired Intricate Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shepherd-studio.md) - [Insect-Like Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mantis-chair.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md) - [Modernized Rocking Chair Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodding-chair.md)
