# Superior Shiny Seating Ron Arad Designs Amazing Metallic Chairs, Now At the Gallery Mourmans By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ron-arad References: [designws](http://www.designws.com/news/new_work_by_ron_arad_gallery_mourmans_lanaken/) & [thegallerymourmans](http://www.thegallerymourmans.com/) This new work by Ron Arad is currently on display in Lanaken, Belgium. The Gallery Mourmans is featuring his chairs, which kind of look like pennies and nickels, blown up and shaped into seating. His [metallic chairs are extremely shiny](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections), but they don't look particularly comfortable. A miniature version of Ron Arad's chairs would be awesome for putting spare change and keys into. I'll wait to place my order until he creates that. **Implications** - Consumers are drawn to products with [unique designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair) because they feel the extra effort invested into crafting the product raises its monetary and intrinsic worth. Corporations wishing to raise the price of their products may do so simply by designing their goods in an uncommon way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unique Design:** Corporations can create products with unique designs to increase their perceived value and justify higher prices. - **Metallic Aesthetics:** The use of metallic materials and shiny finishes in furniture design can attract consumer interest and add a touch of luxury. - **Functional Miniature Versions:** Creating functional miniatures of popular products can tap into consumer demand for novelty and serve practical purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore incorporating metallic aesthetics into their designs to capture consumer attention and differentiate their products. - **Product Design:** Product design companies can focus on creating unique and visually appealing designs that elevate the perceived value of their clients' products. - **Collectibles Market:** The collectibles market can embrace the production of functional miniatures that appeal to consumers looking for unique and decorative items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striped Down Dimensional Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ron-arad-1.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Metallic Tubular Minimal Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tone-chair.md) - [Innovative Copper Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanocrystaline-chairs.md) - [Marbles-Inspired Intricate Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shepherd-studio.md) - [Stainless Steel Reflective Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair.md) - [Upcycled CD Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-disc-chair.md) - [Swivelling Marbled Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/landmark-project.md) - [Shimmering Cantilevered Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2023-shadow-chair.md)
