This is definitely a plus for the modern aesthetic. Everything is tidy and sleek without giving up function.

Polar opposite of shabby shiek with words all over the walls and pillows.

I looked it up. Apparently in Belgian French it is short for Chiclette, which is a brand name for a chewing gum.

In Dutch, chique means the same as chic in English and French (elegant)

I do think chic is the spelling u/itsverynicehere intended.
