Designed by Zanocchi & Starke, the stool is crafted from oak wood and comes flat-packed, but doesn't require extensive or complicated processes to be built. This makes the stool ideal for consumers who are constantly on the move and who require furniture that is easily disassembled when it comes time to shift spaces or areas. The 'Frida' stool is made in Italy and comes in three color options to suit nearly any interior design aesthetic. The multifunctional nature of the furniture piece means it can be used as both a [seating solution and a table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sisto) to increase it's overall efficiency. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Flat-pack Furniture:** The rise of flat-pack furniture is creating opportunities for companies to develop easy-to-assemble and disassemble products. - **Multifunctional Design:** Consumers are increasingly looking for furniture pieces that serve multiple purposes to optimize their living spaces. - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** Designs that prioritize simplicity and functionality over ornate details continue to gain popularity in the furniture industry. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Companies in the furniture industry can capitalize on the demand for multifunctional, minimalist furniture design by creating simple, easy-to-assemble products. - **E-commerce:** As more consumers shop for furniture online, e-commerce companies can benefit from offering flat-pack furniture that reduces shipping costs and is easy to deliver and assemble. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate flat-pack furniture with minimalist aesthetics in their projects, catering to consumers seeking simplicity and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flat-Packed Wooden Stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-stool-concept.md) - [Functional Flat-Packed Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walle-stool.md) - [High-Quality Flatpack Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pagoda-chair.md) - [Collapsible Recycled Bottle Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-folding-stool.md) - [Fan-Shaped Stackable Stool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-concept.md) - [Flatpack Tool-Free Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nstel-the-chair.md) - [Stackable Flat-Pack Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1.md) - [Thoughtful Reclaimed Material Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-folding-stool.md) - [Interlocking Wooden Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tie-stool.md)
