This is considered a unique and rare [limited edition armchair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monk-armchair). Made of aluminium, the San Damas chair has an exaggerated back and arms designed to look like a bird with wings, [splayed back legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pere-chair) and front legs in the manner of a bird's legs and feet. All you're missing is a nest-inspired footstool to complete the look.

This is truly an example of [unique furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-heston-studio)!

**Implications** - Furniture is no longer just a concept for function, it's a form of art within the home. By dressing up the interiors of their houses, consumers seem to be participating in a nesting process and settling down into a singular location. Opportunity exits for many furniture, decor and design companies because of this.
