This Hercules [soft bust stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair) (as in a place to rest) is also known as the "[Bean Burrito](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bun-bun-chair)." It's made from the same squishy material that stress balls are, so it could actually be surprisingly comfortable to have a Herculean beak in your bum.

Hercules butt bust was created by the Fashion Architects of Taste and acts as a great representation of their classic [oxymoron pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair).

**Implications** - A simple yet effective way to appeal to consumers is through the use of irony or juxtaposition. Businesses who use these tools will be perceived as more approachable as their products provide comical or entertaining moments.
