Bubbly Lounge Seats

Marie Galoyer's Sitting Bulles Look Like Melded Beach Balls

— May 14, 2011 — Art & Design
Summer is pretty much here and that means lounging outside during those hot, sunny days and what better way to do so than with one of these Sitting Bulles? A happy, bubbly seat, I feel relaxed just looking at it. Perfect for the poolside, on the deck or even inside in one's family room or play area, these Sitting Bulles are playful and comfortable.

Created by French designer Marie Galoyer, these Sitting Bulles are essentially inflatable and clear beach balls (ranging in size, of course) that have been melded together to create one unique lounger. Its airy presence will ensure that it doesn't seem to take up too much room. More than that, these Sitting Bulles are also easy to pack and store away when not in use.

1. Inflatable Seating - The trend of using inflatable seating options like Marie Galoyer's Sitting Bulles offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for outdoor furniture manufacturers.

3. Portable Lounging - The trend of portable lounging solutions, such as the easy-to-pack Sitting Bulles by Marie Galoyer, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for travel and camping equipment manufacturers.
