# Tipsy Task Chairs This Spring-Framed Chair Offsets the Drunken Sway of the Sitter By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-01-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/springframed-chair References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/01/29/drunken-design/) If you happen to be sober when sitting down in this [spring-framed chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr), you might actually feel a bit intoxicated. A flexible coil has been integrated into the top of each of the four legs, establishing a secure but unstable surface. Someone who's been drinking, however, might find this [dining chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espattio-platero-rocking-table) to be quite a comfortable place to sit, given that it can counterbalance any dizzy shifting that takes place. It was this sort of scenario that influenced the creation of this piece, dreamed up while Michael Kushner was observing drunks at the bar. No matter your state of mind, the Skoki Chair is a striking contemporary piece to behold, with clean white surfaces and sharp metal legs. The bold color of the red springs make the look of it pop – visually, to match its mechanics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Spring-framed Furniture:** There is an opportunity for furniture designers to experiment with incorporating springs into their designs in unique and interesting ways. - **Balance-enhancing Products:** Companies can explore creating products that enhance balance, stability, and posture for users in unconventional ways, opening up opportunities to enter untapped markets. - **Sensory Experience Design:** Designers can experiment with incorporating sensory experiences into their products to enhance the user experience, as exemplified by the Skoki Chair's ability to mimic a feeling of drunkenness through its design. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** The furniture industry has an opportunity to explore incorporating springs into their product designs to create unique experiences for users. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can explore introducing balance-enhancing products like the Skoki Chair to provide unique experiences and comfort to their patrons. - **Product Design:** The product design industry can incorporate sensory experiences into their designs to enhance the user experience while offering new and novel features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Movement Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wobbl-rocking-chair.md) - [Modernist Ski-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tip-chair.md) - [Cross Legged Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sway-chair.md) - [All-Direction Wobbling Rocking Chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wobbling-rocking-chair.md) - [Active Motion Desk Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swing-ao-stool.md) - [Pretzel-Like Comfortable Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dohui.md) - [Cocktail-Resembling Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-chair.md) - [Naturalistic Grass-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flip-chair.md) - [Floating Component Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-top-chair.md)
