# Embracing Backrest Seats Protection Chair is a Perch for Personal Reflection and Solitary Solace By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-05-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protection-chair References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Protection-Chair/2441685) Different settings, people and circumstances require very different things from a chair, and what the Protection Chair provides is undoubtedly unique. You wouldn't find it at a desk or at the dining table, but more likely within a self-reflective context. Adam Jesberger designed this unique piece of furniture as an answer to the challenge of merging two dissimilar ideas: one aesthetic and the other contemplative. A sleek modern style using beautifully bent stained wood and clean lines was used to express the experience of overcoming conflict. The result is an armchair with a [round backrest that wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introvert-chair) about 320 degrees around the sitter. While seated on the [circular cushion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi) of the Protection Chair, the sitter is quite closed off to his surroundings, allowing him to ponder privately without the stress and distraction of his outer world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 - **360-degree Backrests:** Designing chairs with backrests that wrap around more than the traditional 180 degrees creates a sense of enclosure and privacy for users. - **Contextual Furniture:** Creating furniture pieces specifically designed for self-reflection and contemplation opens up opportunities for creating personalized and immersive experiences. - **Conflict-inspired Design:** Exploring the use of aesthetics to express the idea of overcoming conflict in design can result in unique and thought-provoking furniture pieces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can embrace the trend of 360-degree backrests and contextual furniture to cater to individuals' needs for privacy and immersive experiences. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate conflict-inspired design into spaces to create visually striking and meaningful environments that evoke contemplation and personal reflection. - **Wellness and Meditation:** Furniture pieces that offer privacy and promote introspection and self-reflection can find applications in the wellness and meditation industry to enhance the user's experience and facilitate mindfulness practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wellbeing-Harnessing Fan-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanti-chair.md) - [Relaxed Anti-Distraction Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortune-chair.md) - [Minimalist Privacy Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-seat-design.md) - [Modern Therapeutic Seating Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflect-1.md) - [Mindful Wooden Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tanuvi-hegde.md) - [Zen-Focused Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goyo-chair.md) - [Comfy High-Backed Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highbacked-office-chair.md) - [Cocoon Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-introvert-chair.md) - [Meditation Wood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vipassa.md)
