It is a [compact design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-pawson-and-herman-miller) that is easy on the eyes without going too overboard when many details. Instead, the silhouette of the Soul Armchair is [sleek and stream-lined](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi), allowing those living in small spaces to capitalize on its considerate design perfectly. Designed by Rafa Garcia, the Soul Armchair can be accompanied by a [foot rest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-perron-bun) or placed on its own. It is available in a few different colors in order to fit in better with existing home decor. Consumers will appreciate the versatility of the Soul Armchair, which is not blatantly designed to be solely useful. Refinement is key -- especially when targeting modern individuals living in urban cities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 48% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Compact Seating Designs:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating compact seating designs that strike a balance between comfort, style, and practicality. - **Versatile Furniture Options:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing furniture that offers versatility and can fit well with existing home decor. - **Streamlined Silhouettes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating sleek and stream-lined furniture designs that cater to modern individuals living in urban cities. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the furniture design industry to create compact seating options with versatile and stylish designs. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the interior design industry to offer versatile and space-saving furniture options that enhance existing home decor. - **Urban Living Solutions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the urban living solutions industry by designing furniture with streamlined silhouettes that maximize comfort and practicality in small spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Comfortable Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfortable-furnishings.md) - [Comforting Designer Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge-by-layer.md) - [Sustainable Curved Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gomo-armchair.md) - [Nostalgic Bistro-Style Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-chair.md) - [Minimalist Comfort-Focused Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondo-chair.md) - [Sculptural Upholstered Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amia.md) - [Comfortable Artful Sculpted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asari.md) - [Angularly Ergonomic Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sova-lounge-chair.md) - [Curved Comfort Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysa.md)
