# Literary Foot Stools The Bibliopouf by Nobody&Co Combines Literature and Comfort By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-05-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bibliopouf-by-nobodyco References: [weburbanist](http://weburbanist.com/2012/05/16/bookcase-chair-hybrid-now-with-new-mini-shelved-ottoman/) & [nobodyandco.it](http://www.nobodyandco.it/nobodyandco/homepageingl.html) The Bibliopouf by Nobody&Co is the perfect companion to the design company's earlier creation the Bibliochaise, an [ottoman that doubled as a bookshelf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table). The brilliant thing about the Bibliopouf is that it combines two complementary activities into one aesthetic furniture piece -- reading and relaxing. [Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe-book-stand) are a personal favorite of mine, the display of a range of stories can tell a lot about an individual, and the case that one decides to present their collection on also speaks to that person's aesthetic taste. The Bibliopouf by Nobody&Co expresses modernity and practicality. Why stand when you can sit? Browse through your collection of books while enjoying the comfort of your chair, just be sure not to put the books you've yet to read on the backside of the chair so as to avoid awkward twisting and turning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Multipurpose Furniture:** The combination of different functionalities in a single piece of furniture can lead to innovative and practical solutions for small spaces. - **Design for Experience:** Furniture designs that prioritize the user's experience can create a unique value proposition for consumers. - **Personalized Home Decor:** Furniture pieces that allow for customization and personal expression can appeal to consumers seeking unique and meaningful home decor. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore the development of multipurpose and user-focused furniture pieces that offer added value to consumers. - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can partner with furniture brands to create marketing campaigns that highlight the complementary relationship between reading and relaxation. - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms can incorporate user-centric and personalized furniture designs into their projects to enhance the overall look and feel of a space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Tranquil Reading Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chapters-furniture.md) - [Ultra-Comfy Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushy-lounge-chair.md) - [Striking Storage-Friendly Poufs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berliner-pouf.md) - [Bookshelf-Incorporated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overlap-table.md) - [Curvaceous Animalistic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookpet-coffee-table.md) - [Architectural Library Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reading-nooks.md) - [Cozy Storage-Focused Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pocket-chair.md) - [Compact Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table.md)
