# Provocative Pin-Up Furniture The Unbutton Collection is Inspired by Pin-Up Models' Clothing By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-unbutton-collection References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/09/29/the-unbutton-collection-by-cristina-bulat/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/cristinabulatdesign) Cristina Bulat designed 'The Unbutton Collection,' comprised of [two bedside tables and a sideboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-cabinetry-collection). Bulat was inspired by Pin-Up culture; a time when Burlesque-style photographs of provocatively-dressed women were mass-produced, intended to be "pinned" onto walls. This influence is most obviously seen in the [collar-shaped element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections) featured on the top drawer. The silhouette was achieved by using a linden veneer, which was flexible enough to curve at the required angle, without splintering the wood fiber. The design draws upon the suggestive nature of Pin-Up culture, girls and clothing. Coupled with [sleek Scandinavian design principles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-art-collection) and a natural finish, the Unbutton Collection is a visually-appealing project that will add character and dimension to any room of the house. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pin-up Furniture:** Designing furniture inspired by Pin-Up culture presents opportunities to incorporate suggestive elements into modern furniture design. - **Flex Wood Veneer:** Creating furniture with flexible wood veneer allows for unique shapes and forms in furniture design. - **Scandinavian Design Principles:** Updating Scandinavian design with provocative elements adds a new twist to traditional furniture design. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design:** Incorporating suggestive elements or flexible wood veneer into modern furniture design presents opportunities for innovation and differentiation in furniture design. - **Interior Design:** The Unbutton Collection presents opportunities for interior designers to add character and dimension to their clients' homes. - **Fashion:** Inspiration from Pin-Up culture presents opportunities for fashion designers to create modern clothing with provocative elements and vintage vibes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Voluptuous Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voluptuous-seating.md) - [Naturally Crafted Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch.md) - [Ornamental Functional Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bells-and-whistles-collection.md) - [Refined Mdf Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undressed-series.md) - [Textured Modern Furniture Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-collections.md) - [Playful Toy-Like Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frunchroom-furniture-collection.md) - [Textured Pine Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayon-pine.md) - [Unique Burl-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-heston-studio.md) - [Geometric Cutout Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designated-table.md)
