This minimalist furniture piece resembles a modern art piece thanks to its [sculpturally conceived form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001) that doubles as a coat rack and practical seat for users. This benched coat rack is constructed from glued beech wood that is moulded into its desired shape and then lacquered with a durable finish. Available in both black and white, the KARIBU coat rack by Julian Appelius for Pulpo is a modernist home accessory that is sure to act as a bold focal point when showcased within a design savvy home. The furniture piece features a [simplistic bench base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rondin) that is accented with a tall x-shaped wood detail that acts as its coat supporting element. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Furniture Design:** Opportunities for innovative furniture designs with both functional and artistic elements. - **Sculptural Home Accessories:** Combining practicality and unique artistic designs of home items. - **Multi-functional Home Products:** Creating furniture pieces with multiple purposes to save space and enhance style ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor Industry:** Improving modern home decor and furniture design - **Art and Sculpture Industry:** Applying sculpture techniques to home furniture design - **Interior Design Services:** Providing unique and versatile home decor options for interior design clients ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chinese Character-Shaped Coat Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-coat-rack.md) - [Storage-Centric Minimal Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kurve-furniture.md) - [Wall Art Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-case.md) - [Playful Monkey-Inspired Coat Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-coat-stand.md) - [Storage-Equipped Restaurant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rack-chair.md) - [Minimal Shoe Rack Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-shoe-rack.md) - [Ultra-Chic Minimalist Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-seating-design.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md)
