# Single Sheet Stools This Wooden Seat Design is Made Using One Sheet of Folded Plywood By M | Published 2016-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-seat References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/stool-made-one-sheet-plywood/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [muhaukao](http://www.muhaukao.com/) Creative designer Mu Hau Kao recently put together a wooden seat design utilizing [one sheet of plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedia-tonda) to create a [minimalist and modern stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedeo-chair). The contemporary chair design opts for a utilitarian and simplistic aesthetic removing the need for connecting parts or added accessories to bind the chair together. Instead the seat is made with one continual piece of wood, without compromising the functionality of the design. The stool is sleek and modern with an uncomplicated aesthetic. The single sheet of plywood has been cleverly folded to create a [flat seated platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walle-stool) that droops down into four conjoined legs that are thin and curve inward for added support. The chair is relatively lightweight without compromising on a sturdy and functional design. The stools are ideal to add to tables or bars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Foldable Furniture:** Designing furniture that can be folded from a single sheet of material, reducing the need for connecting parts and accessories. - **Minimalist Design:** Embracing a sleek and uncomplicated aesthetic in furniture design, focusing on functionality and simplicity. - **Lightweight Stools:** Developing stools that are lightweight yet sturdy, offering portability without compromising on functionality and support. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to explore the production of foldable furniture designs using minimal materials and simplified assembly processes. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate minimalist furniture designs into their projects, creating modern and streamlined spaces. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can benefit from lightweight stools that are easy to move and rearrange in restaurants, bars, and hotels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interlocking Wooden Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tie-stool.md) - [Flat-Packed Wooden Stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-stool-concept.md) - [Folded Paper-Inspired Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-stool.md) - [Singular Metal Sheet-Made Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-chair.md) - [Plywood Sculptural Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-chair.md) - [Chic Single-Piece Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-lounge-chair.md) - [Visibly Undulating Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concave-stool.md) - [DIY Flatpack Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/that-stool.md) - [Haute Cohesive Plywood Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-chair-by-blond.md)
