# Pelvis-Shaped Seats The Hermaphrodite Stool by Didier Fiuza Faustino is Simply Shocking By Meghan Young | Published 2010-12-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermaphrodite-stool References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/hermaphrodite_chair_by_didier_fiuza_faustino_18056.asp) & [mesarchitecture](http://www.mesarchitecture.com/) I must admit that the Hermaphrodite stool's name caught my attention before its actual design. Of course, with a title like that, I don't think anyone can blame me. Nevertheless, the [Hermaphrodite stool's simple, graceful design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair) adds an interesting element to the piece, keeping me mightily intrigued. Designed by [architect Didier Fiuza Faustino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nick-beens), the Hermaphrodite stool is made from a [single sheet of aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walle-stool). Shaped like a pelvis, there is nothing overly sexual about it -- except for the fact that it's made to be straddled rather than simply sat on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Pelvis-shaped Seats:** The trend of designing seats in the shape of a pelvis offers a unique and intriguing alternative to conventional seating options. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers have the opportunity to create innovative and attention-grabbing seating options by exploring pelvis-shaped seats. - **Architecture:** Architects can incorporate pelvis-shaped seats into their designs, adding a bold and unexpected element to various spaces. - **Art and Sculpture:** Artists and sculptors can explore the concept of pelvis-shaped seats as a way to create visually striking and thought-provoking pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Saddle-Inspired Ergonomic Modern Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepe-stool.md) - [Visibly Undulating Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concave-stool.md) - [Biodegradable Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-stool.md) - [Horse-Inspired Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-falabella-stool.md) - [Modernist Modern Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utzon-stool.md) - [Stool-Inspired Design Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hackability-of-the-stool.md) - [Sculptural Monochromatic Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monochromatic-stool.md) - [Colorful Dual-Purpose Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s1-stool.md) - [Whimsical Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-design-review.md)
