# Cartoon Character Chairs Leonie Janssen's 'Im Perfect' Collection is Inspired by Body Types By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/im-perfect References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/07/15/im-perfect-collection-by-leonie-janssen-for-jspr/) & [leoniejanssen.nl](http://www.leoniejanssen.nl/) Inspired by body parts, the 'Im Perfect' [furniture collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bells-whistles) is brimming with character. I swear, I fully expect them to start chatting away and moving in their own distinct manner. Considering that we don't live in a [Pixar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peaceminusone-x-toy-story) film, however, we'll just have to appreciate their looks rather than their (lack of) personality. Designed by Leonie Janssen, the 'Im Perfect' collection also represents a great message: Everyone is different, but you can still be perfect in whatever form you take. These chairs are [completely unique unto the next](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yay-chair), and they are the better for it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 9% | 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 - **Character-inspired Furniture:** Creating furniture designs that are inspired by characters and embody unique personalities can disrupt the furniture industry and appeal to consumers looking for one-of-a-kind pieces. - **Body-type Inclusive Design:** Developing furniture collections that celebrate different body types and promote inclusivity can disrupt the traditional standards of beauty in the design industry and attract a wider range of customers. - **Message-driven Design:** Incorporating meaningful messages into furniture designs, such as embracing individuality and self-acceptance, can offer innovative marketing opportunities and resonating experiences for consumers seeking products that align with their values. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The furniture manufacturing industry can leverage character-inspired designs to differentiate their products and capture the attention of customers looking for distinct and personality-driven pieces. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating body-type inclusive furniture designs can disrupt the interior design industry by challenging conventional aesthetic norms and offering solutions that cater to a wider range of body types and preferences. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can explore collaborations with designers focusing on message-driven furniture collections to create compelling campaigns that resonate with consumers seeking products that align with their values and aspirations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Cartoon-Like Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flash-furniture-series.md) - [Waste-Incorporated Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-chairs.md) - [Dynamic Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tom-dixon-fat-and-plump.md) - [Chromatic Chair Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-two-alike.md) - [Vibrant '90s-Inspired Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holloway-li.md) - [Asymmetric Linework-Based Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-collection.md) - [Whimsical Childlike Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child.md) - [Voluptuous Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voluptuous-seating.md) - [Dynamic Typeface-Like Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orma-chair.md)
