# Clustered Post Perches The T 36 Stool by Paolo Giordano Affords Scattered Support By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-10-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-36-stool-by-paolo-giordano References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2011/10/10/t-36-stool-by-paolo-giordano.php) & [i-and-i.it](http://www.i-and-i.it/EN/news.aspx) If walking on a bed of nails is not as painful as it might sound, than surely the T 36 Stool by Paolo Giordano could be quite a comfortable place to repose by comparison. Even though it's made from [anodized aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stamping-chair) and lacquered wood, the bundle of posts that makes up the seat of this piece provides enough of a stable surface to keep the sitter from slipping in. The [T 173 Bench](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torii) is composed like its single-seater circular counterpart, but its plan is instead the union of three adjoined squares in series. Both pieces are composed of pink-topped silver pillars which vary a great deal in diameter. But despite the quirky visual impression left by the bench and the T 36 Stool by Paolo Giordano, both maintain a clean contemporary aesthetic and a classic cross-sectional symmetry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 5% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Clustered Post Perches:** Opportunity for innovative seating designs that combine stability with visual intrigue. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Potential for disruption in the furniture industry with unique seating solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Wooden Webbed Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knot-stool.md) - [Interlocking Wooden Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tie-stool.md) - [Sculptural Monochromatic Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monochromatic-stool.md) - [Handcrafted Stone Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-stool.md) - [Visibly Undulating Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concave-stool.md) - [Contrasting Element Concrete Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conecto-modular-stool.md) - [Sustainable Biophilic Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspired-by-nature.md) - [Expressive Triple-Layer Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3ply-assemble-stool.md) - [Stackable Cork-Like Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drum-stool-1.md)
