# Backpack Furniture Galerie Kreo Compact Stool and Sofa Combo By Rose Nazarali | Published 2009-05-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backpack-furniture-compact-stool-and-sofa-combo References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/backpack-sofa-stool/) & [jongeriuslab](http://www.jongeriuslab.com/site/html/work/backpack_sofa/03/) Galerie Kreo's Backpack Sofa and Stool duo is a compact relaxing spot for habitual campers or those with limited space. I'm unsure of the actual backpack aspect of this design, but it seems as though the sofa-stool combo is easily wrapped together for quick and simple traveling. Who doesn't need a [carry-on couch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-aero-couch)? This is perfect for family campers to make the [kids feel at home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twiny-sofa-system). **Implications** - Homeowners who live in [small, cramped housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bug-collection-1) look to find products that minimize the use of space. By creating a product that easily solves spacing problems, companies can capitalize on these homeowners' need to solve their housing furniture and space problems. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Furniture:** Creating smaller furniture designs can solve spacing problems for homeowners with limited space. - **Portable Furniture:** Designs that can easily be wrapped for traveling can appeal to habitual campers and those who have limited space - **Multifunctional Furniture:** Products with multiple uses, like the sofa-stool combo, can provide value to customers looking to maximize space efficiency. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Industry:** Companies in the furniture industry can benefit from exploring designs that solve space problems. - **Camping Industry:** The camping industry can take advantage of offering portable and compact furniture that appeal to habitual campers. - **Interior Design Industry:** Interior designers can leverage compact and multifunctional furniture designs to offer solutions to clients with limited space for their homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflatable Tote-Style Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bag-sofa.md) - [Modular Inflatable Furniture Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transforming-sofa.md) - [Envelope-Packaged Couch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couch-in-an-envelope.md) - [Compact Collapsing Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acordion-modular-sofa.md) - [Collapsible Timber Sofa Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ospite-folding-sofa.md) - [Dual-Purpose Camping Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-a.md) - [Repairable Flat-Pack Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-sofa1.md) - [Modular Inflatable Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conqueror-inflatable.md) - [Expanding Three-in-One Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expandy.md)
