# The Hairy Bertoia Funky Chair, Curious Name By thischick | Published 2007-03-10 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hairy-bertoia-bikini-wax-psych-its-a-chair References: [douglashomer](http://www.douglashomer.com/homer.html) I came across this chair called The Hairy Bertoia by [Douglas Homer](http://www.douglashomer.com/homer.html) today. Then I spent the rest of the day trying not to yell "Hairy Bertoia" every time I opened my mouth. It's just a weird name for a chair. Can you imagine going into a store and saying to the saleslady: "I want a Hairy Bertoia!" "I need a Hairy Bertoia!" "Oh look, you've got a Hairy Bertoia!" It's a funky chair, but the name sounds like the opposite of a bikini wax and that's probably not good marketing... ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternative Chair Designs:** With the popularity of funky chair designs, there is an opportunity for alternative and unique chair designs that stand out in the furniture industry. - **Creative Product Naming:** There is a growing trend in creative and atypical product naming, which could be capitalized on by companies seeking to create unique and buzzworthy branding strategies. - **Humor in Marketing:** Humorous and playful marketing strategies are becoming increasingly popular, and incorporating humor into branding strategies could be a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies looking to stand out in crowded markets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** With the popularity of unique and atypical chairs, manufacturers in the furniture industry can capitalize on the trend with creative and standout designs. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The growing trend in creative product naming and humorous marketing strategies present an opportunity for advertising agencies and marketing firms to offer unique and standout branding strategies to clients across a variety of industries. - **Interior Design:** As consumers seek out unique and trendsetting furniture designs, there is an opportunity for interior designers to incorporate standout chairs like The Hairy Bertoia into their designs, setting themselves apart from the competition with bold and creative choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fuzzy Modern Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-modern-chair.md) - [Chaotically Natural Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkochgalam-chair.md) - [Low-Lying Profile Cushioned Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kouros-maghsoudi.md) - [Historic Dynamic Cane Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charu-chair.md) - [Rope-Like Dynamic Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caterpillar-lounge.md) - [Sartorially Inspired Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narinari-chair.md) - [Comfortable Artful Sculpted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asari.md) - [Tubular Organic-Formed Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopy-chair.md) - [Chunky Knitted Quilted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitty-chair.md)
