The limited-edition chair was designed for [Ralph Pucci International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition) and is perfectly in line with the designer’s philosophy that design, “must work with the flow of life.” The [Ripple Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-apartment) is actually a [chaise lounge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge) made of vacuum-pressed plywood and a steel base that is lacquered in one of three standard colors. Emmerson created the lounger to further investigate the idea of undulation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Futuristic Seating:** Innovative designs in furniture that push the boundaries of traditional seating options. - **Undulating Shapes:** Use of curved or wavy designs in a variety of products and industries. - **Limited-edition Furniture:** Exclusive, specialty furniture pieces that cater to high-end consumers looking for unique designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Companies manufacturing and designing unique and innovative furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers incorporating innovative seating options into their designs for high-end clients. - **Luxury Home Goods:** High-end retailers offering unique and exclusive furniture pieces for a discerning clientele. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Modular Draped Ruched Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-sofa.md) - [Limited Rippled Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rippled-stool.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [Responsive Recliner Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davidhugh-aiora.md) - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md) - [Ribboned Recycled Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruffini.md) - [Ergonomic Relaxation Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zephyr-lounger.md) - [Rippled Modular Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffa-furniture.md)
