Oh! That thing UNDER the model. I kind of see it and now that you mention it, I think NOT seeing it is kind of the point. Designed back in the 1980s, this expanded nickel-plated steel mesh chair was recently made by the German-based company, [Vitra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-fiberglass). The chair goes for $9975 USD and even has a "mini me" version that sells for $450! **Implications** - The chair may have been designed almost 20 years ago, but the featured updated version of it looks just as awesome as the original. Browsing the pictures featured in the gallery, you may wonder if the chair is actually comfortable. With such a hefty price tag, it must be! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 20% | 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 - **Expanded Steel Mesh:** Opportunity for innovative designs using expanded steel mesh in furniture and other products. - **Transparent Furniture:** Potential for creating transparent furniture that blends with its surroundings. - **High-end Minimalism:** Demand for high-end, minimalist furniture designs that command a high price point. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Opportunity for companies to create unique and eye-catching furniture designs using materials like expanded steel mesh. - **Interior Design:** Growing demand for transparent furniture provides opportunities for interior designers to create visually stunning spaces. - **Luxury Goods:** Potential market for high-end minimalistic furniture that appeals to affluent consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celestial Silkscreened Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanity-fair-xc-armchair.md) - [Stainless Steel Reflective Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair.md) - [Gravity-Defying Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sihoo-doro-s300.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Marbles-Inspired Intricate Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shepherd-studio.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Futuristic Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-chair-concept.md) - [Otherworldly-Inspired Dynamic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmos-chair.md) - [Luxurious Minimal Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-minimal-chair.md)
