Angela Missoni gained inspiration for these creatively innovative hanging mobile chairs when she saw the curved wooden slabs of vintage wooden caskets. Angela decided to [up-cycle the unused wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures) and use the natural curvature of the slabs to make an elegantly [C-shaped rocker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-moon-chair). The slabs are kept together with [colorful interwoven knotted strings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hug-chair-1) that help to keep the slabs parallel to one another. On each chair is a beautifully vibrant technicolor seat padding that helps to make the cask wood more comfortable to sit on. Each chair is also interlaced with thick metal chains at each corner so it can be hung like a mobile swing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Upcycling Furniture:** The trend of upcycling furniture is disrupting traditional furniture manufacturing by offering unique and sustainable design options. - **Mobile Furniture:** Mobile furniture is a growing trend offering versatile and adaptable design solutions for small spaces and changing needs. - **Sustainable Design:** Sustainable design is a trend that is becoming increasingly important in industries such as furniture manufacturing, as consumers become more environmentally conscious and seek out eco-friendly products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can take advantage of the upcycling trend and offer sustainable, unique, and versatile furniture designs that cater to changing consumer demands. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate innovative and sustainable furniture designs like these upcycled wooden mobile chairs in their projects to create distinctive and eco-friendly spaces. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The trend of eco-friendly products is disrupting industries, including furniture manufacturing, to provide consumers with more sustainable and ethical options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md) - [Chic Recycled Waste Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-chair.md) - [Upcycled CD Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-disc-chair.md) - [Unexpected Boundary-Pushing Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair.md) - [Sustainably Minded Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conscious-chair.md) - [Bold Community-Reflected Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flap-chair.md) - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Fishing Container Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-neglect-material.md)
