The Mish Mash Chairs Flaunt Material Differences and Distinctive Components

— December 12, 2013 — Art & Design
Who says that a chair must be made from a single material? Certainly not the designer of the Mish Mash Chairs. Daniel Emma presents this utterly adorable pair of perches that defy your expectations to become wonderfully whimsical renditions of simple task or dining chairs.

Solid maple wood was used to construct the stable bases of the furnishings, and the same light lumber makes up the flat seats and the majority of the backrests. At this stage, both of the objects are alike, but then comes the addition of other quirky parts.

One of the Mish Mash Chairs becomes an armchair with the incorporation of a couple of U-shaped pieces of tubular aluminum. These are powder coated in bright red, while poured resin chair back extensions on each seat take much softer colors for a playful appearance.
Trend Themes
1. Mixed-material Seating - Opportunity to create seating designs that incorporate multiple materials to add visual interest and unique functionality.
2. Whimsical Furniture - Chance to develop furniture pieces that have a playful and imaginative design aesthetic, appealing to consumers seeking unique and fun home decor.
3. Colorful Chair Accents - Potential for adding vibrant and contrasting colored accents to chairs, enhancing their visual appeal and allowing for customization options.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Disruptive innovation opportunities to explore unconventional combinations of materials in chair design, creating eye-catching and innovative products.
2. Interior Design - Opportunities for interior designers to incorporate whimsical and distinctive chairs into their projects, adding a touch of personality to spaces.
3. Home Decor Retail - Potential for retailers to offer colorful chair accents as add-on accessories, allowing customers to personalize their seating options and create statement pieces.
