# Ocean-Inspired Lounge Chairs The Studio OOOMS Sea-Urchin By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-11-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-oooms-sea-urchin-lounge-chair References: [atelier29.blogspot](http://atelier29.blogspot.com/2008/11/sea-urchin-from-studio-oooms.html) & [oooms.nl](http://oooms.nl/monkish-work-sea-urchin/) This ‘Sea-Urchin’ lounge chair from Studio OOOMS looks like it was plucked straight from a seaside tidepool and halved for some impromptu *uni*. Its incredible handmade construction features 8,000 cable ties attached to the RVS frame. The ‘Sea-Urchin’ lounge chair is meant to be hung anywhere in your home, but I think it’d be ideal right in the window or out on the lanai of a piece of oceanfront property. Or perhaps in a sushi restaurant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ocean-inspired Furniture:** Opportunity for furniture designers to create pieces that mimic the natural beauty of the ocean while incorporating sustainable materials into their construction. - **Handmade Craftsmanship:** A trend for consumers desiring handmade, artisanal pieces as opposed to mass-produced, machine-made items, opening up opportunities for small businesses to create unique and customized products. - **Hanging Furniture:** A trend for space-saving furniture that can be hung anywhere in a home, opening up opportunities for designers to create innovative and functional pieces that can be easily moved and rearranged. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Incorporating sustainable materials and nature-inspired designs can differentiate furniture manufacturers from their competitors, appealing to consumers' desire for unique, eco-friendly pieces. - **Artisanal Craftsmanship:** Handmade furniture and decor is gaining popularity among consumers, providing an opportunity for small businesses and independent craftsmen to offer personalized, high-end products. - **Hospitality Design:** Hanging furniture can be an innovative solution for hospitality spaces, providing flexibility and a unique design element that sets them apart from traditional seating options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [Chunky Cylindrical Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umi-armchair.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [3D-Printed Upcycled Net Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kelp-chair.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Seashell-Inspired Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traditional-and-digital-techniques.md) - [Industrial Exterior Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osier-lounge-chair.md) - [3D-Printed Seaweed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelp-chair.md)
