# Sleek Sled-Inspired Chairs The 'Sleeed' is Designed Like a Sled to Be Extremely Compact By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-05-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sled-chair References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/05/23/sleeed-track-seating/) & [red-dot.sg](http://www.red-dot.sg/en/online-exhibition/concept/) Instead of stacking vertically, the 'Sleeed' sled chair nests horizontally to maximize your floor space without lifting. Made by designer Choi Minsoo, the chairs are built like a sled in order to allow them to slide together. In addition, it adds a beautiful aesthetic effect to the 'Sleeed.' The chairs stack extremely efficiently with the compacted form taking up very little space. By avoiding folding functionality to make the chairs space-efficient, Minsoo's has created a chair that is both sturdy and compact. The chairs are made of polyprolene in order for them to be cost-effective and stable. In addition, they are reinforced with glass fiber. The 'Sleeed' was also built to be mass-produced through its single injection molding manufacturing process. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 55% | 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Compact Nesting Furniture:** Create innovative furniture designs that maximize floor space by incorporating horizontal nesting features instead of vertical stacking. - **Sled-inspired Design:** Explore the use of sled-like structures in product design to achieve both functional efficiency and aesthetic appeal. - **Single Injection Molding Manufacturing:** Leverage single injection molding processes to streamline mass production and reduce manufacturing costs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Design and manufacture furniture that emphasizes space efficiency and sleek aesthetics using sled-inspired concepts. - **Interior Design:** Incorporate compact nested furniture solutions into interior design projects to optimize space utilization and create visually appealing spaces. - **Manufacturing:** Implement single injection molding techniques in manufacturing processes to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness for a range of products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stackable Screw-Free Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stack-chair.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md) - [Stylish Stackable Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nesting-chair.md) - [Ultra-Minimalist Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notch-folding-chair.md) - [Dynamic Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldont-chair.md) - [Storage-Attached Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grid-chair.md) - [Wooden Twin Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same.md) - [Ultra-Minimal Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair.md) - [Single-Piece Wooden Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-table-1.md)
