Paint-Dipped Perches

The Holy Stool Collection Presents Delightfully Pigmented Legs

— January 22, 2014 — Art & Design
The Holy Stool series demonstrates how a basic object can be simply delightful. Made from lovely maple wood, the petite perches have been executed with a subtly playful design and enhanced with sections of color.

The UM Project collection consists of a set of three stools of various heights as a short, a medium and a barstool version. Each one has been given three supports that angle whimsically outwards in order to establish sufficient stability.

The fairly minimalist seats assume great added flair with their abstract vibrant treatment. Matte lacquer covers most of the natural timber material, but it looks as if the Holy Stools' legs have been dipped in duo-tone colors of black, white, gray, blue or fluorescent reddish orange. They would brighten up homes, offices and schools alike.
Trend Themes
1. Color-dipped Furniture - There is an opportunity for furniture designers to incorporate sections of color to add an abstract, yet playful design element to traditional pieces.
2. Whimsical Furniture Stability Design - Innovative furniture design companies can explore new stability design concepts that add visual interest and flair to basic objects, such as stools and chairs.
3. Abstract and Minimalist Designs - Minimalist designs can be enhanced with subtle abstract design elements, like color-dipping, that add personality without overwhelming the object's overall aesthetic.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers can explore incorporating the color-dipping trend and whimsical stability design concept into their products to create eye-catching new pieces.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate these color-dipped stools into their designs to add a playful, youthful design element to modern living spaces.
3. Product Design - Product designers can take inspiration from these minimalist, abstract designs and explore new ways to add subtle personality to everyday objects.
