The chair features a somewhat [angular design aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) that allows it to function as a low-lying lounger in one position and as a stool in another. This allows the chair to be the perfect [multifunctional seating solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chameleon-furniture) for an urban home to be positioned at a countertop as a stool and transitioned into a lounger when entertaining. The conceptual 'Turning Chair' also features a [stackable design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-chair) to be utilized in larger spaces like classrooms or places of business to offer ample support for larger crowds. The chair is the winner of the 2019 K-Design Award. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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's Driving This Trend - **Multifunctional Furniture:** Designing versatile furniture that can easily transform from one type of furniture to another. - **Space-saving Solutions:** Creating furniture that is designed to be stackable or collapsible to save on space. - **User-centric Design:** Developing furniture that is designed to cater to the specific needs and preferences of users. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturing furniture that serves the needs of individuals with small living spaces. - **Interior Design:** Offering space-saving and multifunctional design solutions for small living spaces. - **Office Furniture:** Developing furniture that is stackable and can be easily transformed to fulfill different office needs and requirements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adjustable Position Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switch2-chair.md) - [Ultra-Simple Multifunctional Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chairpf.md) - [Hybrid Sit-Stand Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lean-on-chair-concept.md) - [Modular Workspace Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-stool-design.md) - [Sliding Flatpack Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folio-chair.md) - [Cross Leg-Supported Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/euljiro.md) - [Transforming Child Stool Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipflap-childrens-chair.md) - [Shapeshifting Office-Ready Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egoitaliano-smirk.md) - [Dual-Function Seating Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-stool.md)
