# Giant Glove Seats Hive Makes the 'Joe Lounge Chair' For Baseball-Friendly Backyards By Rachel | Published 2009-06-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hive-joe-lounge-chair References: [casasugar](http://www.casasugar.com/3199241) & [hivemodern](http://hivemodern.com/products/?view=sub_product&sid=755&cid=2&cid2=3) I think it’s safe to say a [giant baseball glove-shaped lounge chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baseball-crossbody-bag) is for true fans only, but I suppose if you’re going to love baseball, you should love it in a big way. The Joe Lounge Chair by [Hive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hive-mind-sparkling-mead) certainly does just that. The Joe Lounge Chair is an [outdoor lounger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge) that sells for $1000. It comes in brown and silver, though if we’re going to be true to the game, I vote you buy it in brown. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Outdoor Loungers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create customizable outdoor loungers inspired by other sports equipment. - **Fan-specific Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop furniture designs tailored to specific fan bases of different sports. - **Sports-themed Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design home decor items that incorporate elements from various sports. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the creation of sports-inspired furniture pieces for niche markets. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce unique outdoor recreational products that cater to specific interests like sports fandom. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sports-themed home decor items to serve the needs of sports enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfort-Focused Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grapy-lounge-chair.md) - [Childhood-Informed Dome Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-clodette-chair.md) - [Drink-Holding Outdoor Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lago-lounge-chair.md) - [Collaborative Cottage Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finer-recliner.md) - [Sports-Themed Indoor Hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kona-gameday-hammock.md) - [Industrial Exterior Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osier-lounge-chair.md) - [Cozy Oversized Cushion Armchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perron-pillo-lounge-chair.md) - [Sustainable Hi-Rise Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollygagger.md) - [Relaxed Simplistic Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gb-lounge.md)
