A fat cap refers to the plastic piece atop a spray can that releases the paint when pressed. Van Heukelom, who is now known for his three-dimensional graffiti-inspired sculptures and paintings, has used the fat cap as inspiration before, creating [multi-colored sculptures made of styrofoam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1), plexiglas, synthetic resin and wood. The fat cap chair is made of [coated styrofoam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kartela) and is lightweight and crack-resistant. It comes in two styles, the hooded fat cap and in plain white, but it can be produced in different shades or patterns. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Graffiti-inspired Design:** Opportunity for businesses to incorporate graffiti-inspired elements in their products and designs to tap into the urban art trend. - **Sustainable Lightweight Furniture:** Potential for companies to develop crack-resistant and eco-friendly furniture using lightweight materials like coated styrofoam. - **Customizable Patterns and Colors:** Demand for furniture that allows customers to personalize their style by offering options for different shades and patterns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for furniture designers to explore new artistic inspirations and create unique and eye-catching products like the fat cap chair. - **Art and Sculpture:** Potential for artists and sculptors to experiment with graffiti-inspired themes and materials to create innovative and visually striking pieces. - **Interior Design and Decor:** Demand for graffiti-inspired furniture and accessories that can be integrated into interior design projects to add a bold and urban touch. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sneaker-Inspired Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/markvonrama.md) - [Color Palette-Exploring Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taptap-chair.md) - [Modern Design-Exploring Art Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair.md) - [Graphic Colorful Joint Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-prince.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Sculptural Recycled Plastic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-chair.md) - [Customization-Friendly Furniture Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spray-furniture.md) - [Unexpected Boundary-Pushing Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypical-chair.md) - [Stackable Blue-Tonal Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernica.md)
