# Pirouetting Perches The Strip Chair Blurs the Boundaries of Form and Space for the Beholder By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-05-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strip-chair References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/48050/) & [casamania.it](http://www.casamania.it/engl/prodotti/prodotti_dettaglio.php?linea=home&cat=4&id=180&lng=engl) It's fascinating to see a legless seat and contemplate its engineering. The Strip Chair particularly has been manufactured to a form that boggles the mind and delights the eyes. A single [sculptural piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tulip-chair) of warped polyethylene expresses the shape of a chair quite abstractly but effectively. The furnishing is [curvaceous and asymmetrical](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipen), standing upon a seemingly [folded edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-chair) of the sturdy material and opening up like the petals of a flower into a fluid perch. Fabio Novembre's elegant creation looks different and exciting from every angle. The Casamania Strip Chair may be best appreciated in a room with others of its striking silhouette, perhaps surrounding a dining table where one glance will reveal an array of graceful forms facing various directions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Warped Furniture:** Opportunity to explore abstract and innovative designs while maintaining functionality through the use of warped materials. - **Asymmetrical Seating:** Opportunity to create seating that challenges the traditional symmetrical form, blurring boundaries between form and function. - **Fluid Perches:** Opportunity to create seating with organic and fluid shapes that evoke a sense of movement and dynamism. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** Industry that can benefit from exploring innovative designs and materials to create unique furniture pieces. - **Interior Design:** Industry that can integrate asymmetrical, fluid and abstract furniture pieces within avant-garde interior design schemes. - **Art and Sculpture:** Industry that can explore the boundaries and relationship between form and function, creating innovative and striking sculptural pieces with practical applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illusory Disconnected Component Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fly-armchair.md) - [Haute Cohesive Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-chair-by-blond.md) - [Industrial Leather-Padded Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strip-chair-by-henge.md) - [Perforated Steel Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamping-chair.md) - [One-Legged Structural Wooden Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pere-chair.md) - [Floating Component Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-top-chair.md) - [Flatpack Ultra-Modular Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-chair.md) - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md)
