The seat has a [two-part design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pla-modular-chair) that consists of the stool itself along with another circular stool component that allows the former to be positioned onto the side of the latter. This will extend the amount of space available to the sitter and allow them to sit cross-legged during a meal or when at a bar with friends. The conceptual 'Eulji-ro Stool' was influenced by the Eulji-ro region of Seoul, Korea and is inspired by additional eastern cultures where it is commonplace to sit cross-legged at a restaurant or bar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Comfort-focused Seating Solutions:** The Eulji-ro Stool offers a stylish and comfortable seating option for diners. - **Two-part Seating Designs:** The Eulji-ro Stool's two-part design provides flexibility and extended space for sitter. - **Cross-legged Seating:** The Eulji-ro Stool caters to the trend of sitting cross-legged during meals or socializing at a bar. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore innovative designs that prioritize comfort and flexibility. - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can offer an enhanced dining experience by providing seating solutions that cater to customers who prefer sitting cross-legged. - **Hospitality Industry:** Bars and lounges can create a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere by incorporating seating options like the Eulji-ro Stool. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fan-Shaped Stackable Stool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-concept.md) - [Modular Workspace Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-stool-design.md) - [Biodegradable Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-stool.md) - [Cross Legged Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sway-chair.md) - [Collapsible Posture Support Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-portable-seat.md) - [Functional Decorative Rocking Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rool-stool.md) - [Intuitive Entryway Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-front-stool.md) - [Colorful Dual-Purpose Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s1-stool.md) - [Dual-Function Seating Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-stool.md)
