# Stacked Storage Stools O Perche Compartments Elevate Possessions for Easy Access By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-02-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/o-perche References: [muuuz](http://www.muuuz.com/2012/02/10/julie-pfligersdorffer-o-perche/) & [juliepfligersdorffer](http://juliepfligersdorffer.com/realisations/) Consisting of a container and a lid, these O Perche boxes can be best likened to household storage bins. They are, however, very much classified in their own unique category because of their carefully crafted assembly and unconventional arrangement. Julie Pfligersdorffer's creations combine the concepts of the [barstool and the hat box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-and-vitra), brought together in a whimsical way that was inspired by the silhouette of a water tower. The smooth squared and the cylindrical receptacles are perched upon the tops of four [wooden chair legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pere-chair), establishing intriguing relationships between themselves and with their users. One of the taller sets stands almost two meters high and provides a timber rail for accommodating coathangers beneath it. The beautiful matte black O Perche [storage compartments stack up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamo) to single and double levels as elevated crates for miscellaneous items. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stacked Storage Solutions:** Expanding on the concept of traditional storage bins, stacked storage solutions offer unique assembly and arrangement opportunities. - **Whimsical Design:** Incorporating playful elements inspired by everyday objects like water towers, whimsical design offers a fresh perspective for innovative storage solutions. - **Multi-functional Furniture:** Combining the functionalities of barstools and storage bins, multi-functional furniture presents opportunities for space optimization and creative storage solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry has the potential to explore and create unique storage solutions by incorporating unconventional assembly and arrangement concepts. - **Home Organization:** The home organization industry can benefit from incorporating whimsical design elements that offer fresh and innovative storage solutions. - **Retail and E-commerce:** The retail and e-commerce industry can capitalize on the trend of multi-functional furniture by promoting and selling space-saving storage solutions for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curved Stacked Wooden Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/box-set.md) - [Fan-Shaped Stackable Stool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-concept.md) - [Stackable Cork-Like Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drum-stool-1.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [East-Meets-West-Inspired Layered Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornice.md) - [Sustainable Space-Saving Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flex-perch-stool.md) - [Eco Cork Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-box.md) - [L-Shaped Stacked Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-shelf.md) - [Sandbox-Like Modular Storage Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-storage-cabinet1.md)
