# Foam Sculptured Seating Véronique Baer Creates BOUNCE That Transforms into a Chair By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vronique-baer References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/05/29/bounce-by-veronique-baer/) & [veroniquebaer](http://www.veroniquebaer.com/) Véronique Baer has created a distinct design that transforms into a seat when someone sits down in it. When looking at the stool, it looks as though it should be a bedside table or even simply a stool, but upon sitting down the back part stays at the same level and the person sinks in front. This sinking effect creates a [natural backrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breck-chair), which one wouldn't be aware of just from looking at the product. The [foam material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair) used allows it to bounce back, which is where the inspiration from the name comes from. The seats come in two different colors, a yellow hue and gray, which should match a number of different interior designs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Transforming Furniture:** The design of the Foam Sculptured Seating presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of transforming furniture. - **Ergonomic Seating:** The sinking effect of the Foam Sculptured Seating offers potential for disruptive innovation in the ergonomic seating industry. - **Interactive Design:** The interactive nature of the Foam Sculptured Seating opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in interactive design for furniture. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** The Foam Sculptured Seating presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the furniture industry. - **Interior Design:** The Foam Sculptured Seating offers disruptive innovation opportunities within the interior design industry, particularly in terms of matching different interior designs. - **Material Science:** The foam material used in the Foam Sculptured Seating offers potential for disruptive innovation in the field of material science and technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bubble-Inspired Bulbous Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-stool.md) - [Visibly Undulating Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concave-stool.md) - [Kinetic Bloom Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-furniture.md) - [Cubic Featherlight Seat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/please-hold-up-chair.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-urchin.md) - [Unconventional Playful Seating Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bau-1.md) - [Balloon-Like Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seungjin-yang.md) - [Stone-Like Styrofoam Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinold-styrofoam-stools.md) - [Multifaceted Geometric Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stackable-stools.md)
