The Lounge Chair Onda by Spanish designer Diego Granese incorporates a truly intricate design into a sleek, minimalist seater.
This paper-thin furniture piece will fit seamlessly into anyone's home decor, consisting of a single piece of stainless steel, covered with leather. The Lounge Chair Onda looks as though it's floating in air, reclining back under your weight as you lie back and relax.
Implications - With the cost of living increasing astronomically annually, the cost of real estate has also seen a rise. Higher-priced abodes mean that many people are finding they can afford less space. Smaller abodes mean that people are looking to purchase smaller furniture, more generally. Companies that can create smaller products that still have aesthetic appeal can benefit from the economic downturn; bigger is no longer necessarily better in the eyes of consumers.
