# Scarf-Tied Stools Esa by Goncalo Campos Doesn't Need Nails or Glue to Stand Up By Marissa Liu | Published 2010-06-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esa-by-goncalo-campos References: [dailytonic](http://www.dailytonic.com/esa-by-goncalo-campos-pt/) & [goncalocampos](http://goncalocampos.com/) '[ESA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nasa-artemis-space-launch-system)' by Gonçalo Campos is a series of furniture by a young up-and-coming Portuguese designer. ESA can be used as a [seat, table or rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sisto), depending on how it is configured and uses only a scarf to keep all of its [wooden components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-furnitures) together. The floral scarf that keep ESA by Gonçalo Campos together acts as a pretty decoration to the rather simple, natural wood pieces. I'm not sure how sturdy ESA is, but experimentation is half the fun-just don't put anything too delicate or breakable on top. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Versatile Furniture:** Opportunity for designers to create multi-functional furniture pieces using minimal materials and innovative assembly techniques. - **Sustainable Design:** A chance to incorporate sustainable materials and methods into furniture design and production, reducing waste, carbon footprint and costs. - **Fashion & Interiors:** The merging of fashion and interior design, with opportunities to incorporate fabrics, patterns and textures in furniture design. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore new techniques for creating sturdy and multi-functional furniture pieces using minimal materials and resources. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate sustainable and visually appealing furniture pieces made from innovative materials into residential or commercial spaces. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can extend their focus to create textiles that can be used in furniture design, allowing for unique patterns and collaborations between fashion and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interlocking Wooden Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tie-stool.md) - [Flat-Packed Wooden Stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-stool-concept.md) - [Climbing Rope-Crafted Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entwined-objects.md) - [Glue-Free Furniture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linumtube.md) - [Minimal Wooden Webbed Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knot-stool.md) - [Eco-Friendly Intricate Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa.md) - [Customizable Cable Tie Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-furniture-system.md) - [Single-Piece Wooden Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-table-1.md) - [DIY Flatpack Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/that-stool.md)
