Dual-Purpose Gardening Chairs

The Songmics Garden Seat Makes Pruning and Weeding More Comfortable

— March 31, 2016 — Art & Design
Being that gardening is oftentimes a pastime for retirees or the elderly, the Songmics Garden Seat is designed to make the experience more comfortable.

Packing ample space for tools, the chair folds flat when not in use to save additional space. The sturdy chair design works by offering a comfortable spot for gardeners to sit while they work on their gardens. If they need to get down on the ground for weeding or pruning, the chair instantly flips over to offer a comfortable spot to kneel on.

The Songmics Garden Seat helps to enable comfort whilst gardening and is easily carried from location to location thanks to the sturdy yet lightweight design of the gardening accessory.
Trend Themes
1. Comfortable Gardening Accessories - There is an opportunity for developing more comfortable accessories for gardening to cater to the elderly and retirees who hobby in this area.
2. Dual-purpose Furniture - Developing more dual-purpose furniture items that can be used for multiple activities around the house or outdoors provides a new market for consumers who are space-conscious and value adaptability.
3. Hybrid Home-and-garden Products - Creating more products that can be used both outdoors and indoors will appeal to consumers who value functionality and flexibility, as well as those who are eco-conscious and want to reduce waste and space usage.
Industry Implications
1. Gardening and Outdoor Accessories - Companies can innovate gardening furniture and accessories that cater to the elderly and retirees, providing ease and comfort for their pastimes.
2. Furniture and Home Goods Industry - This furniture design can inspire companies to create more dual-purpose items for household or outdoor use, creating a niche market for space-conscious consumers.
3. Sustainability and Eco-friendly Industry - Companies who produce products that can be used both indoors and outdoors, and therefore reduce waste caused by one-time purpose products, can contribute to providing solutions for eco-conscious consumers.
