The chair is constructed with a series of [tubular pieces that are decidedly simple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) and connect together through simple yet durable joinery. The seat takes things in the opposite direction when compared to the vast rise of the tech world; the materials and silhouette chosen go back in time to a period when furniture was decidedly [pared down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair). The conceptual 'Seed Chair' imagines what we could see within the evolution of the tech industry as companies evolve, but also somehow devolve as something of a return back to nature. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Future-facing Furniture:** Designing furniture that imagines the future of office space with consideration given to low-tech solutions - **Simplistic Design:** Designing products with simple, durable joinery, going back to a time when furniture was pared down - **Return to Nature:** Imagining furniture that embodies nature-inspired shapes and materials ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** An opportunity to design simplistic and functional furniture solutions based on current trends in technology and design - **Office Interior Design:** Future-facing and low-tech designs that prioritize the functionality of the space - **Tech Companies:** Opportunity to incorporate low-tech solutions and nature-inspired designs into office furniture ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Designed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepmind-ai-chair.md) - [High-End Headphones-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-chair-design.md) - [Futuristic Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-chair-concept.md) - [Zen-Focused Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goyo-chair.md) - [Naturalistic Grass-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flip-chair.md) - [Dynamic Futuristic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polarisgo-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Sprouting Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wood-chair-on-grass.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md)
