This integration of bar-stool sitting and photography equipment is quite fetching and not something one sees every day. This crafty wooden stool stays true to its classic structure and shape; although, a few aspects of it have been altered including the comfortable [cork sitting cushion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loki-stool) and metal tripod legs. The solid wood, cork and metal materials add a plethora of personality to traditional pub-style sitting. The legs of the chair are constructed similarly to what you would find on a tripod and connected by a metal stretcher. This collapse chair can be stored with ease and is great for [campfires and cocktail soirees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bott-x-helinox). Although this chair does require assembly, in fast fashion you'll be sporting the Martin Bahrij Tripod Stool for every occasion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Photography-inspired Furniture:** Opportunities for creating unique furniture pieces that mix different functionality and aesthetics. - **Collapsible Functional Gear:** Room for innovation in incorporating collapsing functionalities in various types of gear and equipment. - **Bar Stool Innovation:** Innovative designs that change the way we think about traditional pub-style sitting. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Opportunities for incorporating unique shapes and materials into furniture design. - **Photography Equipment:** Potential for introducing collapsible features into various types of photography gear, making them easier to transport and store. - **Hospitality:** Room for innovation in designing new styles of bar stools that guests will enjoy and appreciate. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flatpack Adventure-Ready Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-outdoor-chair.md) - [Tripod-Paired Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intension-design-tripod-standing-desk-pro.md) - [Shapeshifting Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/octopus-tripod.md) - [Sturdy Clamp-Style Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silence-corner-mambapod.md) - [Nature-Inspired Minimal Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capture-the-light.md) - [Thoughtful Reclaimed Material Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-folding-stool.md) - [Collapsible Recycled Bottle Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-folding-stool.md) - [Durable Travel Photography Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heipi-travel-tripod.md) - [Interlocking Wooden Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tie-stool.md)
