Sundance-Styled Seats

DePadova Redesigns the Director Chair as Outdoor Patio Furnishing

— August 13, 2013 — Art & Design
Perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to call the shots, the Sundance chair by DePadova is designed after the typical director chair, inspiring cinematic scenery for the outdoor patio.

This seating collection, which includes three vivid tones that are sure to stand out in any setting, is ideal for outdoor use, including on the deck, by the pool or around a built-in fire pit for comfortable seating during warm summer weather. The chairs also feel at home in a minimalist office space with rugged hardwood flooring and giant open windows.

Just like a regular director chair, the Sundance chair, named after the famed film festival, is lightweight and folds up so that it's great for those who want something easy to carry and store.
Trend Themes
1. Outdoor Furniture Revamp - DePadova's redesign of the director chair for outdoor use may inspire other furniture designers to rethink traditional pieces in outdoor settings.
2. Minimalist Office Furnishings - The Sundance chair's ability to blend with office decor creates potential for more office furniture to double as outdoor furniture.
3. Functional Portability - The chair's lightweight, foldable design presents an opportunity for innovators to explore more mobile furniture options for outdoor and indoor use.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Furniture Design - DePadova's Sundance chair provides a fresh perspective on traditional outdoor furniture and may spark new ideas in the outdoor furniture industry.
2. Interior Design - The chair's versatility in indoor and outdoor spaces could challenge designers to create more furniture items that can adapt to different settings.
3. Event Planning - The Sundance chair's resemblance to a director's chair and portability may make it a popular choice for outdoor events and film festivals.
