# Hypnotizing Metal Furniture The Wings of Steel Chair by Laurie Beckerman is Curvaceously Laser-Cut By Meghan Young | Published 2012-10-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-of-steel-chair References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/10/05/wings-of-steel/) & [lauriebeckerman](http://www.lauriebeckerman.com/WINGS_OF_STEEL_2012.html) The Wings of Steel Chair looks absolutely hypnotizing. From its circular shape to its repetitive lines, just looking at it will have people in a trance. Of course, that is due in large part to its spectacular design rather than any trick of the eye. It features a stunning [laser-cut construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs) that many would find hard not to appreciate. Designed by Laurie Beckerman Design, the Wings of Steel Chair is modeled after her original [Butterfly Chair](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfly-chair). In place of clear plastic, however, this seat is fashioned out of powder-coated metal. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, the Wings of Steel Chair is available in a variety of colors including black, red, yellow and grey. More sculptural than anything else, people may mistake it for a piece of art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 31% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hypnotic Metal Furniture:** Designing furniture that looks like a piece of art offers disruptive innovation opportunities in both home decor and art industries. - **Laser-cut Construction:** Incorporating laser-cut construction technology in furniture design provides disruptive innovation opportunities in interior design and architectural industries. - **Circular and Repetitive Designs:** Emphasizing circular and repetitive designs in furniture creation provides disruptive innovation opportunities in industrial design and outdoor furniture industries. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Creating furniture pieces that serve both function and aesthetic design provides disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry. - **Art:** Blending furniture and art together creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the art industry. - **Interior Design:** Integrating art-inspired furniture pieces into interior design offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the interior design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stainless Steel Reflective Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair.md) - [Sustainable Metallic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuttgart-chair-20.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Perforated Steel Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamping-chair.md) - [Sleek Steel Structural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/combchair.md) - [Singular Metal Sheet-Made Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-chair.md) - [Leather-Accented Industrial Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l1-chair-from-object-leuci.md) - [Aluminum Stainless Steel Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morph-chair.md) - [Marbles-Inspired Intricate Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shepherd-studio.md)
