# Paint-Dipped Perches The Holy Stool Collection Presents Delightfully Pigmented Legs By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-stool References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/furnishings/holy-stool/) & [umproject](http://umproject.com/holy-stool) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-two-alike). The UM Project collection consists of a [set of three stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-stool) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnus-olesen). 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **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. - **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. - **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. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **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. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate these color-dipped stools into their designs to add a playful, youthful design element to modern living spaces. - **Product Design:** Product designers can take inspiration from these minimalist, abstract designs and explore new ways to add subtle personality to everyday objects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist Colorful Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edition-two.md) - [Through-Colored Wooden Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roggbif.md) - [Bright Colorful Structural Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels.md) - [Colorful Sustainable Recycled Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stump-recycled.md) - [Wheeled Bright Stumpy Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stump-stool-1.md) - [Minimal Wooden Webbed Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knot-stool.md) - [Sustainable Biophilic Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspired-by-nature.md) - [Lightweight Bar Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hodei-superlight.md) - [Colorful Dual-Purpose Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s1-stool.md)
