# Clothes Rack Seating The 'Sacrificial Chair' from Punga & Smith Takes the Clothes Hanging Hit By Michael Hines | Published 2010-06-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punga-smith References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/spare-chair-seat-free-metal-frame-really-a-clothes-rack/) & [pungaandsmith](http://www.pungaandsmith.com/) Punga & Smith's 'Sacrificial Chair' is a cleverly named and designed clothes rack. The Sacrificial Chair is essentially a [wire frame chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-chair-concept) designed to have [clothes hung on it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rak) rather than on real furniture. Genius, right? How many times have you lazily hung a shirt or a pair of pants on a chair and then forgotten about it for a few days or weeks? The forgetting of clothing is now over, thanks to Punga & Smith and the Sacrificial Chair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Wire Frame Furniture:** The trend towards wire frame furniture offers an opportunity for designs that incorporate clothing storage elements. - **Multi-functional Designs:** The trend towards multi-functional designs offers an opportunity for designers to incorporate clothing storage elements into seating furniture. - **Sustainable Furniture:** The trend towards sustainable furniture offers an opportunity for designs that incorporate clothing storage elements into furniture with a smaller environmental impact. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can capitalize on the trend towards multi-functional designs by creating seating furniture with incorporated clothing storage elements. - **Home Organization:** The home organization industry can create products that help simplify and optimize clothing storage by incorporating elements of furniture into clothing storage solutions. - **Clothing Storage:** The clothing storage industry can capitalize on the trend towards wire frame furniture by creating innovative clothing storage solutions that incorporate wire frame elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md) - [Tripod-Like Garment Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-coat-rack.md) - [Storage-Friendly Origami Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kerf.md) - [Creative Laundry Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rewear-chair.md) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-chair-design.md) - [Storage-Attached Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-chair.md) - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md)
