# Rocker Chic Furniture The Royal Rock Furniture Limited Edition Bets on Black By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-05-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-rock-furniture References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Royal-Rock-Limited-Edition/523899) & [venturystudio](http://www.venturystudio.com/index.html) Admittedly, the first thing that caught my eye about these shots from [Royal Rock Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-photography-exhibition) was the topless girl in front of the chair, but then, after a couple of minutes I also noticed that Royal Rock makes some [great furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grazia-co). They folks at Royal Rock Furniture are obviously betting on black with this collection, as all of the pieces come 'au noir.' The designs are very modern, employing [sharp, clean lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudo-20). **Implications** - Consumers enjoy products with simplistic designs because they subconsciously think it's easier to use. Corporations looking to entice consumers further into buying their wares may consider simplifying their product designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalistic Furniture:** The trend of minimalistic furniture design can be capitalized on by companies who wish to target consumers who prefer simplistic designs. - **Black Furniture:** The trend of all-black furniture can be capitalized on by furniture companies looking to appeal to consumers who prefer sleek, modern designs. - **Rocker-inspired Furniture:** The trend of rocker-inspired furniture designs can be capitalized on by furniture companies aiming to target consumers who are fans of edgier, more alternative styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** The furniture industry as a whole can capitalize on the growing demand for simplistic, modern designs. - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the trend of all-black furniture by producing complementary accent pieces that will enhance the chic look of this furniture style. - **Fashion & Apparel:** The fashion and apparel industry can capitalize on the trend of rocker-inspired furniture designs to produce edgier, more alternative clothing lines that will appeal to the same target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary Rocking Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-rocking-chair.md) - [Fabric-Wrapped Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhe-rocking-chair.md) - [Chess-Inspired Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rook-stool.md) - [Sleek Structural Rocking Horses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocking-horse-chair.md) - [Sleek Black Furniture Varnishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-teak.md) - [Artful Spikey Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chet-lo.md) - [Updated Midcentury Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiberglass-shell-chairs.md) - [Modernized Rocking Chair Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodding-chair.md) - [Music-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-chair1.md)
