# Steel Netted Seats The Detailed Tensegrity Chair by Konstantin Achov By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-01-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tensegrity-chair References: [chairblog.eu](http://www.chairblog.eu/2009/12/30/tensegrity-chair-by-konstantin-archov/) & [konstant-in.net](http://www.konstant-in.net/design.html) The Tensegrity Chair by Konstantin Achov is composed of [aluminum pipes and stainless steel cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair) to create an intricate seat. More of a work of art than a functional seat, the Tensegrity Chair is an experiment in tension. Achov, a Bulgarian designer and artist, claims that the chair can be automatically adjusted. The [frame seems collapsible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldseat) making the Tensegrity Chair easy to move. However, the [intricate netting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) does not look comfortable to sit in and may get tangled up with your sweater. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Printed Furniture:** Opportunity to design and print custom furniture pieces with intricate and unique designs using 3D printing technology. - **Sustainable Furniture:** Development of environmentally-friendly and sustainable furniture pieces made of organic and recyclable materials, such as bamboo or biodegradable plastics. - **Virtual Furniture Showrooms:** Creation of virtual reality showrooms that allow customers to experience and interact with furniture pieces before making a purchase. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Could incorporate innovative materials and production processes to create visually striking and functional furniture items. - **Interior Design:** Could consider integrating unique materials and designs, like the Tensegrity Chair, into new interior design projects for clients. - **Gaming and Entertainment:** Could incorporate virtual reality furniture showrooms into gaming and entertainment experiences, allowing customers to have an interactive, immersive experience with furniture before making a purchase. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Steel Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combchair.md) - [Ultra-Precise Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-design.md) - [Marbles-Inspired Intricate Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shepherd-studio.md) - [Air-Filled Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-one-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Sustainable Dynamic Structured Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-chair.md) - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Strong Geometric Steel Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerothickness-chair.md) - [Bended Tubular Chair-Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-chair-concept.md)
