Sancal has come out with a [collection of furniture inspired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series) by the company's passion for illustration and graphic design. The pieces are very simplistic, and their differences lie in the details. With a few adjustments to the back, the chairs become completely different than the next.

In total, [eight different designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-chair-collection) are featured in the collection, all by different artists who bring their own sense of adventure and flair to the look of the chairs. The 'Silla40' by [Studio Nadadora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-diaries-collection) features an ash-colored wood on the back, with one having arm rests and the other designed without.

The entire collection is almost a look at history, and the different designs that have come about over the years. More specifically the collection makes one realize that subtle changes make all the difference.
