# Eccentric Diva Wheelchairs Mordekai Makes an Exclusive 24-Carat Gold Lady Gaga Wheelchair By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-03-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-gaga-wheelchair References: [aux](http://www.aux.tv/2013/03/lady-gaga-had-a-24-karat-gold-wheelchair-made-so-she-can-recuperate-from-her-hip-injury-in-luxury/) & [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/lady-gaga-is-sitting-in-a-24-karat-gold-wheelchair) This Lady Gaga wheelchair has been exclusively designed for the singer by luxury brand Mordekai. The chair, which has been described as a Rolls Royce on wheels, shows that the diva is far from a mere mortal. The singer commissioned the lavishly eccentric wheelchair to help her recuperate from her recently broken hip. The chair features a black (but of course) leather seat and a removable leather canopy to shield one's eyes from the glares of the sun. Designer Ken Borochov says he had never quite designed anything like this before: "I certainly wasn’t expecting that phone call and have never done a wheelchair, but am always up for a challenge and was thrilled to create what I affectionately dubbed the Chariot, a chair fit only for a queen," he states on the company website. Make sure if you happen to see the chariot coming at you on the street, move out of its way! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Wheelchairs:** The rise of exclusive and extravagant wheelchairs designed for celebrities opens up opportunities for luxury brands to tap into this niche market. - **Customized Medical Devices:** The demand for personalized and unique medical devices, such as customized wheelchairs, presents an opportunity for innovation and customization in the healthcare industry. - **Fashion-forward Rehabilitation Aids:** The integration of fashion and style into rehabilitation aids, like the Lady Gaga wheelchair, creates possibilities for combining functionality and aesthetics in the medical field. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can leverage the demand for high-end wheelchairs and other personalized medical devices to expand their product offerings and target affluent customers seeking exclusive experiences. - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can explore opportunities to collaborate with fashion designers and luxury brands to develop fashionable and functional rehabilitation aids that enhance the patient experience. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry players can venture into the realm of assistive devices by creating stylish and customizable rehabilitation aids, allowing individuals with disabilities to express their personal style and individuality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Discrete Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discrete-wheelchair.md) - [Airplane-Friendly Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airchair-wheelchair.md) - [Demurely Designed Mobility Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-rollator-concept.md) - [Sleek Robotic Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-wheelchair.md) - [Transformable Lightweight Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheeliy.md) - [Adaptive Mobility Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofia-mobility.md) - [Upright Wheelchair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kime-wheelchair.md) - [Transformable Hybrid Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeen.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Electric Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-electric-wheelchair.md)
