# Greek God Bust Seats Fashion Architecture Taste Sits on the Head of Hercules By Ana Lopez | Published 2011-12-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-architecture-taste References: [juxtapoz](http://www.juxtapoz.com/Current/the-soft-hercules-chair-by-fat) & [fashionarchitecturetaste](http://www.fashionarchitecturetaste.com/2010/10/soft_hercules.html) For those wanting to sit on [unexpected places](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nick-beens), the designers at Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT) created a piece of furniture that honors Greek gods like Hercules. Although Hercules is the strongest God in Greek mythology, this [stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girard-stool) is soft like a piece of foam rubber to keep your back cushioned and comfy. This practical head is both a sculpture and a fun home decor accessory. The creators from FAT explains, “The bust of Hercules, usually something solid both in its material and the culture it represents becomes unexpectedly soft, deforming a recognizable object into stranger shapes when it is sat on.” This ironic design is about history and pleasure: the perfect combination to enjoy a good conversation while taking a relaxing seated break. The environmental design studio Fashion Architecture Taste has the perfect gift for this holiday. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Unexpected Furniture:** Opportunity for creating furniture pieces that defy traditional forms and concepts, providing users with unexpected seating experiences. - **Sculptural Home Decor:** Opportunity for merging art and functionality in home decor, allowing individuals to adorn their spaces with visually striking pieces. - **Historical Remix:** Opportunity to reinterpret historical objects and symbols in innovative ways, giving them new meaning and purpose in contemporary contexts. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create unique and unconventional furniture designs that challenge traditional interior design norms. - **Artisanal Home Accessories:** Opportunity to craft decorative pieces that blend artistic expression with functional design, appealing to individuals seeking visually captivating home decor. - **Cultural Heritage Products:** Opportunity to create products that reinterpret cultural symbols and artifacts, revitalizing historical elements for modern consumer preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mother Goddess Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venus-folding-chair.md) - [Suspenseful Statement Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr.md) - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md) - [Luxury Fashion Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-fashion-sculpture.md) - [Highly Functional Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loki-stool.md) - [Geometrical Head-Shaped Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vondom-adan-collection.md) - [Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archetypes.md) - [Anthropomorphic Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-lounger.md) - [Domestic Artful Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpted-series.md)
