Dubbed Joojay, which means 'small cheeks' in Farsi, it is a smaller version of the original [Long Wool Sofa](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-fur-sofa) released last year around this time. Cozy and chic with a rich barbaric vibe about it, people can sit upon the sheepskin armchair like kings on a throne. Designed by Sentient, a studio based in Brooklyn, New York, the sheepskin armchair is made using Icelandic Lambs Wool and reclaimed American Oak. Although deemed modern with its [geometric proportions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomo-armchair), the piece of furniture is utterly timeless. Trendir writes that the sheepskin armchair is similar to the sofa in that it is "constructed with the same [pocket springs, two layers of foam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-living-king-cloud-recliner) and one layer of Dacron it will definitely be the best seat in the house." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Wool Furniture:** There is a growing trend in the use of wool materials for designing furniture, presenting an opportunity for innovative creations. - **Luxury Armchairs:** The demand for luxurious and stylish armchairs is on the rise, offering a market for disruptive designs and unique concepts. - **Barbaric-inspired Decor:** A trend towards barbaric-inspired decor is emerging, creating an opportunity to create statement pieces that evoke a powerful and regal ambiance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore the use of wool and unique materials to create innovative and comfortable seating options. - **Luxury Home Goods:** Luxury home goods companies can tap into the demand for stylish armchairs and create disruptive designs that elevate the overall home decor experience. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate barbaric-inspired decor elements, including sheepskin armchairs, into their designs to create captivating spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flamboyant Vintage-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiltana-armchair.md) - [Sheep Fleece Fiberglass-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welsh-mountain-hembury-chair.md) - [Fuzzy Modern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-modern-chair.md) - [Juxtaposed Materials Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-diaries-collection.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Decorative Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monk-armchair.md) - [Cocoon Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-introvert-chair.md) - [Luxe Textured Upholstered Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenmare.md) - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md)
