# Hip Senior Seating The Vector 2 Chair is a Modern Adaptation of Grandpa's Wingback By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-08-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vector-2-chair References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/VECTOR-2/1054229) Looking at the Vector 2 Chair by Marcin Laskowski, I'm first drawn to the warm tartan pattern of brown and yellow that looks like the upholstery on grandpa's favorite lounger. But in terms of the configruation of this [unique piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experiment-chair), it isn't exactly too traditional. The duplicated [boomerang shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair) of the seat and backrest revive a style that was considered trendy several generations ago, but the eccentric appearance has made it an uncommon sight since. One would tend to expect such an object to be covered in a bold red fabric for instance, but the integration of a [classic plaid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aarea) and a contemporary form makes for a compelling and unexpected visual suggestion in the Vector 2 Chair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modernized Traditional Furniture:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create new designs for furniture that incorporate traditional elements in modern aesthetics - **Bold Plaid Patterns:** Opportunity for textile industries to develop more daring and unconventional designs in textiles - **Revived Retro Shapes:** Opportunity for design industries to re-imagine outdated shapes and adapt them to current aesthetics ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** Innovative designers can cater to consumers wanting modernized traditional furniture - **Textiles:** Opportunity for manufacturers to create textile products that incorporate bold, unconventional patterns - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate revived retro shapes into their projects ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Modular Vibrant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-chair-1.md) - [Leftover Textile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-lounge-chair.md) - [Structurally Complex Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arch-chair.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Retro-Tinged Elegant Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karakter.md) - [Architectural Dynamic Vintage Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egoist-chaise.md) - [Chunky Curvaceous Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/001-chair.md) - [Padded Upright Vibrant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-chair.md) - [Modernized Rocking Chair Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodding-chair.md)
