# Plexiglass Seating The Arc Chair from Zbigniew Strzebonski is Inspired by Tram Station Benches By Michael Hines | Published 2010-09-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arc-chair References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/09/24/sitting-on-transparency/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=321887) I have never seen a chair quite like the Arc Chair. This chair was designed by Zbigniew Strzebonski (a Polish designer currently living in Ireland). Strzebonski wanted to design a home chair based off of the benches in Dublin's trams stations. The result is the Arc Chair. This chair has an emerald green seat and [see-through plastic base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-bean-bag) that holds it all together. Check it out in the gallery to see more. **Implications** - Though you might want to take a seat first, this [clear chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draga-aurel) is out of this world. It would definitely be a stylish addition to very [contemporary homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experiment-chair), or for modern office environments. Sit in style by lounging in the Arc Chair today. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 49% | 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Transparent Furniture:** The Arc Chair showcases the trend of transparent furniture, offering a unique and modern design element. - **Urban-inspired Design:** The use of tram station benches as inspiration for the Arc Chair highlights the trend of urban-inspired design in furniture. - **Emerald Green Accents:** The incorporation of emerald green accents in the Arc Chair reflects the trend of bold and vibrant color choices in furniture design. ### Where This Applies - **Home Furniture:** The Arc Chair presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home furniture industry by offering a transparent and stylish seating option. - **Office Furniture:** The Arc Chair can disrupt the office furniture industry by providing a modern and eye-catching seating solution for contemporary office environments. - **Interior Design:** The trend of transparent furniture and urban-inspired design, as seen in the Arc Chair, presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the field of interior design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Circular Modernist Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerogravity-chair.md) - [Stainless Steel Reflective Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair.md) - [Liberating Sleek Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arba-chair.md) - [Sustainable Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-limbo-chair.md) - [Ergonomic Polyurethane Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arfinio-chair.md) - [Chic Recycled Waste Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-chair.md) - [Elegantly Airy Outdoor Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-bench.md) - [Multipurpose Polycarbonate Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/push-fit-chair.md)
