# Cartoon Styled Chairs These Chairs by Richard Woods and Sebastian Wrong Look Animated By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-02-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-woods-and-sebastian-wrong References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/02/13/logo-chairs-by-richard-woods-and-sebastian-wrong/) & [richardwoodsstudio](http://www.richardwoodsstudio.com/) These Chairs by Richard Woods and Sebastian Wrong look like they were taken straight out of a cartoon show. Richard Woods and Sebastian Wrong achieve this effect by tracing each edge of wood with a thick black line of paint. They also use similar black contour lines to resemble [wooden patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-chair). The color style is also very animated, especially in the [multi-colored seat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-two-alike). These painting techniques result in the chairs looking as though they were illustrated and then pulled into 3-dimensional reality. They are captivating to look at and almost have a nostalgic feel because of their [childish cartoon style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child). Although they look as though they are not real, they would certainly bring life to any interior environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cartoon-style Furniture:** Designing furniture with cartoon style is becoming popular, offering opportunities for designers to create unique home decor pieces. - **3D Illusion Furniture:** Creating furniture that appears to be 2D or 3D in design presents an innovative opportunity for furniture makers to create unique and eye-catching pieces of home decor. - **Nostalgic-inspired Furniture:** Designing furniture that invokes feelings of nostalgia presents an opportunity for furniture makers to appeal to customers looking for unique and sentimental home decor pieces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can benefit from these disruptive trends by offering customers unique and distinctive pieces of home decor, showcasing creativity and standing out in a crowded market. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can make use of these trends to create spaces that are playful, unique, and incorporate elements of nostalgia to evoke emotions and stand out from competitors. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry is uniquely positioned to take advantage of these trends by creating affordable yet unique art pieces that also have a functional purpose as home decor items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motion Blur-Inspired Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-rocking-chair.md) - [Quirky Cartoon-Like Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flash-furniture-series.md) - [Realistic Sketch-Reflective Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series.md) - [Wood-Inspired Patterned Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-chair.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Boldly Colorful Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popo-chair.md) - [Striped Down Dimensional Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ron-arad-1.md) - [Color Palette-Exploring Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taptap-chair.md) - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md)
