John Lewis' garden pods are the ultimate [patio accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sol-patio) for the coming summer months. The spherical structures have wooden frames, stainless steel roofs and windows surrounding the entire frame. These 360-degree windows offer a panoramic view of your yard or land, while you remain inside the cool pod. The pod is also furnished so your outdoor experience will be a cozy one. Two long [cushioned seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-outdoor-furniture) run along the walls of the pod with enough room in the centre of the orb for a coffee table. A large party of people could fit inside comfortably for a patio party or a star-watching slumber party! John Lewis' garden pods are the perfect patio piece! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Outdoor Patio Pods:** The trend of outdoor patio pods offers a unique way to enjoy the outdoors while remaining protected indoors. - **360-degree Windows:** The trend of 360-degree windows provides a panoramic view and enhances the overall experience of the outdoor patio pods. - **Furnished Outdoor Spaces:** The trend of furnishing outdoor spaces, like the garden pods, creates a cozy and comfortable environment for outdoor activities. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry can tap into the trend of outdoor patio pods by creating innovative and stylish designs for outdoor furnishings. - **Home Improvement Industry:** The home improvement industry can benefit from the trend of 360-degree windows by offering products and services that enhance the visibility and aesthetics of indoor-outdoor spaces. - **Hospitality Industry:** The hospitality industry can leverage the trend of furnished outdoor spaces to create unique and comfortable outdoor dining and event experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pod-Inspired Bulbous Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-collection.md) - [All-Glass Mesmerizing Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Metallic Potty Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-portal.md) - [Nature-Inspired Geometric Office Domes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dzome.md) - [Micro Backyard Work Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-office.md) - [Minimalist Private Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarlux-soundproof-space.md) - [Prefab Timber Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-nests-treepod-project.md) - [First-Class Working Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabin-work-pod.md) - [Quirky Solo Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-capsules.md)
