# Featherlight Seating Andreas Storiko's Volo Chair Pivots and Swivels Easily and Conveniently By Meghan Young | Published 2011-06-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volo-chair References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2011/06/08/volo-chair-by-andreas-storiko-for-lammhults/) & [stoeriko.net](http://www.stoeriko.net/) Until quite recently, most luxury items were created to be very heavy, which often suggested the quality of the item; however, the Volo Chair proves just the opposite. Instead of being a super heavy chair, it is super light. In fact, its name Volo means "I fly" in Latin, driving that message home. Created by German designer Andreas Störiko for the Swedish manufacturer Lammhults, the Volo Chair is made out of leather, mesh and steel. To maintain a featherlight feel, the steel used happens to be aluminum tubing and the mesh middle offsets the heaviness of the comfortable leather border and footrest. The Volo chair also pivots and swivels, moving easily with the sitter to ensure an ergonomic and convenient seated experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Featherlight Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to create luxury items that are light in weight for ease of use and mobility. - **Ergonomic Seating:** Opportunity for designers to innovate with seating options that prioritize comfort and body mechanics for a healthier seated experience. - **Sustainable and Lightweight Materials:** Shift towards sustainable and lightweight materials for luxury furniture design allowing for easier mobility and eco-friendly production. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to incorporate innovative and sustainable materials into luxury seating design. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior designers to create more ergonomic and mobility-friendly seating options that prioritize health and well-being. - **Luxury Goods Market:** Companies in the luxury goods market can differentiate themselves in the market by creating products that combine both luxury and comfort without sacrificing mobility and ease of use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cubic Featherlight Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-hold-up-chair.md) - [Gravity-Defying Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sihoo-doro-s300.md) - [Thin Metal Rod Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velit-chair.md) - [Responsive Recliner Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davidhugh-aiora.md) - [Lightweight Vibrant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-lite-chair.md) - [Featherlight Hammock Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-hammock.md) - [Swivelling Chair Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swivel-series.md) - [Contemporary Leather Classic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-chair-1.md) - [Lightweight Bar Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hodei-superlight.md)
