# Iron Fenced Seating The Amazing Stripe Chair by Joachim King By Meghan Young | Published 2010-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripe-chair References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/04/03/the-stripe-chair-by-joachim-king/) & [reformthenorm](http://www.reformthenorm.co.uk/) The Stripe Chair reminds me of an iron fence because of its color and design. Designed by Joachim King, the Stripe Chair is actually not made from iron or metal of any kind. Using CNC cutting technology, it was built up layer by layer from birch plywood. With its sweeping lines, the Stripe Chair would look perfect outdoors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **CNC Cutting Technology:** The increasing use of CNC cutting technology in furniture design presents opportunities for more efficient and precise manufacturing processes. - **Outdoor Furniture:** The growing trend of outdoor living spaces creates a market for innovative and durable furniture designs like the Stripe Chair. - **Layered Plywood Furniture:** The use of layered plywood in furniture construction offers a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can leverage CNC cutting technology to streamline production and create unique designs like the Stripe Chair. - **Home Improvement:** The outdoor furniture trend opens up opportunities for the home improvement industry to offer innovative and stylish seating options for outdoor living spaces. - **Sustainable Materials:** The use of layered plywood in furniture production contributes to the sustainable materials industry, promoting eco-friendly alternatives and reducing environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Perforated Steel Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamping-chair.md) - [Sleek Steel Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combchair.md) - [Minimalist Steel Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bishop-chair.md) - [Cuvaceous Lined Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rita-arm-chair.md) - [Stainless Steel Reflective Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair.md) - [Dynamic Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldont-chair.md) - [Bold Outdoor Aluminum Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aline-outdoor-chair.md) - [Music-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-chair1.md) - [Metallic Tubular Minimal Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tone-chair.md)
