# Plastic Bottle Cushions The Lamacek Lounger Features Eco-Friendly Components By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamacek-lounger References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/lamacek-lounger-includes-cushion-made-in-100-recycled-plastic-bottles/) & [lamacek](http://lamacek.com/lounger.html) I didn't know that felt could be fashioned from 100% recycled plastic bottles until I stumbled upon the Lamacek Lounger. Looking at the images above, you wouldn't even be able to tell that the main component of those cushions was a series of plastic bottles. Yet the Lamacek Lounger is more than just its cushions. Made from steel that features a powder coast finish, the Lamacek Lounger is a contemporary rocker that has a retro, crocheted feel about it. The cushion is attached magnetically, which ensures easy removal for washing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Cushions:** Sustainable materials like recycled plastic bottles are being used to create cushions, providing an eco-friendly alternative for consumers. - **Upcycled Products:** Repurposing plastic bottles into cushions showcases the trend of upcycling waste materials to create functional and stylish products. - **Magnetic Attachment:** The use of magnetic attachments for cushions offers convenience and ease for consumers, allowing for easy removal and washing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** The furniture industry can explore the use of eco-friendly materials and upcycled products to meet the growing consumer demand for sustainable and innovative designs. - **Textiles:** The textile industry can leverage the trend of creating cushions from recycled plastic bottles to develop eco-friendly and durable fabrics for various applications. - **Home Decor:** In the home decor industry, the use of magnetic attachments for cushions can be incorporated into additional products, providing a convenient and versatile solution for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Recycled Waste Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-chair.md) - [Chic Recycled Material Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vale-furniture-collection.md) - [Ribboned Recycled Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ruffini.md) - [Recycled Plastic Felt Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vale-collection.md) - [Sustainably Minded Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conscious-chair.md) - [Sustainable Plastic Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mare-chair.md) - [Textured Recycled Plastic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiber-chair-family.md) - [Modern Cushioned Outdoor Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-outdoor-seating.md) - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md)
