It’s all very well, but for what kind of setting and use? It’s easy to churn out hundreds of bizarre chairs every year, how many of them will be evergreen or best sellers?
Anyway, also this year we’ll become infatuated with new shapes, but nobody knows how many of them are comfortable and solid and lasting. It’s hard to detect any trend, for the fields and rooms, where the chair is going to be used are practically innumerable, and the requirements of a specific target of users. There is a marked return to wood and natural materials are increasingly cool in the contract industry, as well.
