# Sophisticated Typography Chairs Sarah Schmid Brings Unique Seating to Life With Words By Jason Soy | Published 2011-06-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarah-schmid References: [chairblog.eu](http://www.chairblog.eu/2011/06/12/chairs-in-words/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/people/1scrappinmom?ref=ls_profile) Sarah Schmid is bringing the common art concept of typography to the world of chair designs. What’s great about this collection of images is that the words are also highly informative of the seating that’s been illustrated. Sarah Schmid is a designer living in Ladera Ranch, California, and these unique illustrations can be purchased as prints via her [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) account. The two chairs featured in this gallery are the lovely [Barcelona Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jal) design and the notorious LC-2 Chair design. Each illustration comes drenched in facts about the chair, such as its designer, the materials used to make it, as well as marketing slogans. These word chair illustrations are giving me ideas to start my own [typographic art projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pax-new-yorkea) in a similar style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Typography in Chair Design:** Incorporating typography into chair designs creates a unique and informative seating experience. - **Art-inspired Furniture:** Blending art and furniture design creates visually striking and conversation-worthy pieces. - **Personalized Home Decor:** Customized typographic illustrations offer a personalized touch to home furnishings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** The furniture industry can explore incorporating typography into their designs for a fresh and innovative approach. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can utilize typography-infused chairs to add a creative and informative element to their projects. - **Art and Home Decor Retail:** Retailers specializing in art and home decor can feature typography chairs as unique and trendy additions to their product selections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Structural Layered Bold Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-bold-armchair.md) - [Sophisticated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-chair-collection.md) - [Simplistic Seating Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstool.md) - [Comfy Printed Component Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-chair-design.md) - [Meticulous Paper-Stacked Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paragraphic-in-four-stacks.md) - [Multifunctional Bold Poetic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verse-3d-printed-chair.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Color Palette-Exploring Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taptap-chair.md) - [Modern Inaugural Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/typ-furniture.md)
