Tropical Luxe Outdoor Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Ahnda Chair by Stephen Burks is Gorgeously Weaved

— April 4, 2014 — Art & Design
The Ahnda Chair is a luxe outdoor furniture option that brings a modern touch of texture to backyard patios and more. Although wicker furniture is not new in the least, there is something refreshing about the weaved pattern of the Ahnda Chair. It has an openness to it that gives the overall design an airy feel even as the material grounds it as well. The designer has dubbed the style 'transparent upholstery.'

Designed by Stephen Burks, the Ahnda Chair was created for Dedon. Although made for the outdoors, it can easily be brought inside for a exciting Tropical aesthetic. It comes with comfortable and stylish cushions that are available in a variety of styles. Also, the Ahnda Chair can be ordered with a high back or a low back depending on preference.
Trend Themes
1. Transparent Upholstery - The use of woven materials with an airy feel can disrupt traditional outdoor furniture designs with a modern touch.
2. Tropical Aesthetics - The Ahnda Chair's ability to be easily brought inside for a vibrant tropical aesthetic can disrupt the traditional boundaries between indoor and outdoor furniture markets.
3. Custom Comfort - The variety of cushion styles and ability to choose between high or low backs can disrupt traditional outdoor furniture offerings with a tailored and personalized experience.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Furniture - Traditional outdoor furniture offerings can be disrupted with more modern and customizable designs such as the Ahnda Chair.
2. Home Decor - The Ahnda Chair's ability to be brought inside for a tropical-inspired aesthetic can disrupt traditional indoor furniture designs and create a new market for home decor.
3. Textile and Weaving Industry - The Ahnda Chair's innovative and visually stunning woven pattern can disrupt traditional furniture manufacturing materials and create new demand for sustainable weaving materials across industries.
