Wegner's 1950s design, the PP Mobler Tub Chair is a fresh translation of an original. Danish design retailer PP Mobler re-released the chair just in time for Milan's Salone del Mobile 2014 showcase. This [curved seater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomo-armchair) boasts a fabric-accented top and sits atop a structured wood frame that is sturdy and decorative all at once. Marrying aesthetics with function, the PP Mobler Tub Chair is a true symbol of 50s era design. The furniture piece celebrates the 100th anniversary of Hans J. Wegner's original chair and is a piece that collectors and [retro furniture lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tugendhat-chair) will appreciate. The home decor accent is streamlined and [sculptural](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palla), proving that modernity doesn't have to be synonymous with linear design details. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Furniture Designs:** There is a growing market for retro furniture designs that appeal to collectors and fans of 50s era design. - **Celebrating Design Anniversaries:** By celebrating design anniversary milestones, furniture companies can attract design enthusiasts and leverage nostalgia to promote new pieces. - **Modern Designs with Retro Influences:** Designers can create modern furniture pieces with nods to retro design, appealing to consumers who appreciate retro aesthetics but also want contemporary functionality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry can tap into the growing market of retro furniture designs to cater to collectors and fans of 50s era design. - **Home Décor Industry:** The home decor industry can leverage the nostalgia of celebrating design anniversary milestones to offer limited edition pieces for design enthusiasts. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers can incorporate modern furniture pieces with retro influences to create unique spaces that appeal to consumers who crave both retro aesthetics and contemporary functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reissued Retro Dynamic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gubi-1.md) - [Danish Mid-Century Modern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danish-midcentury-modern.md) - [Fiberglass Mid-Century Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panton-chair.md) - [Retro Modular Vibrant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-chair-1.md) - [Minimal Curved Wooden Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1972-chair.md) - [Contemporary Rocking Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-rocking-chair.md) - [Architectural Dynamic Vintage Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egoist-chaise.md) - [Retro Structural Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pk23-lounge-chair.md) - [Iconic Furniture Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jumbo-lounge-chair.md)
