# Vertebraic Chairs The Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair is Perfect for the Spineless By Meghan Young | Published 2009-09-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scott-jarvie-atlas-chair References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/7583/scott-jarvie-the-atlas-chair.html) & [scottjarvie](http://www.scottjarvie.co.uk/) The [Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scott-scott-architects) should really be renamed the Vertebrae Chair. Honestly, let’s petition. Is there anything remotely atlas-y about it? I think not. But seeing as it’s already been announced as the Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair at this year’s 100% Design London, it will have to remain so. According to Designboom.com, “The design is derived by projecting flat angled planes through a volume and using the intersecting elements to generate the profiles that create the sections of the chair. This allows [complex surface geometry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) to be rationalized to planar surfaces, providing [sculptural possibilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair) while utilizing materials efficiently, developing a system that facilitates construction.” Seems like a lot to take in. Honestly, if I were to pick up the Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair, it would be an extremely cool addition to my rather mundane furniture collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Complex Surface Geometry:** The use of complex surface geometry allows for innovative and sculptural designs in furniture. - **Efficient Material Utilization:** The Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair demonstrates the potential for optimizing material usage in furniture construction. - **Rationalized Design Process:** The chair's design process showcases a systematic approach to creating intricate furniture profiles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can explore the use of complex surface geometry and efficient material utilization for creating unique and sustainable designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage the rationalized design process of the Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair to develop visually striking and functional furniture solutions. - **Product Design:** Product designers can draw inspiration from the complex surface geometry and efficient material utilization demonstrated by the Scott Jarvie Atlas Chair to create innovative and aesthetically pleasing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anatomical Lounge Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair.md) - [Skeletally Inspired Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaise-espinhal.md) - [Sustainable Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Ultra-Precise Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-design.md) - [Dynamic Intelligent Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-spinecare.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Ergonomic Versatile Wooden Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-chair-1.md) - [Ergonomic Transformative Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-chair.md)
