This year, the demand for natural materials will increase significantly. Therefore, designers will strive to use the usual stone, glass, metal, wood, leather and even textiles, creating amazing unpredictable combinations. Combining in one subject, these materials will make it possible to put alongside such opposing concepts as simplicity and luxury.
If the upholstery is classical, the forms are simple, the palette is modest, and the shades are restrained, then the only thing that furnishings can stand out in a modern interior is the details. It will be possible to distinguish a designer chair of an unusual design from a pale ordinary copy by subtle nuances.
First of all, this is the frame. Large massive furniture made of natural wood looks perfect in spacious rooms of a large area. For small rooms of city apartments, stylish chairs with a base made of steel profile (matt or chrome) will become more appropriate.
The combination of transparent acrylic and metal edging made it possible to create a futuristic model. Mobile or stationary, it visually facilitates the space, making it more light and airy. The combination of metal and leather is relevant in the production of custom computer and office chairs. Due to this, they become comfortable, functional, perfectly fit into any interior, both in the workplace and at home.
Despite the variety of materials for the manufacture of the base of the chair, a natural wood frame is considered the undisputed leader. Combining with metal or chipboard, such models are in high demand. But at the same time, they remain the best option in terms of price and quality.
