Mixing two things to reproduce a new, unique, and intriguing object that people are shocked but also curious about.

Chairs are still the same or similar designs as they were before, what could we do to change it up? Like Rashid said, "how can I put my fingerprint to differentiate ours from everyone else or every other designer?"
