The model was created by Sequeira for the [LEGO Ideas competition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-italian-riviera) and is achieved using a total of 450 pieces, which gives it a distinctly realistic look and functionality. Makers would thus be able to [fold and unfold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-beach-chair) it at leisure to create their choice of building block scene or even as a model to keep positioned on its own. The Lego Wooden Deckchair can be fully opened or closed with a realistic support system and can be changed up with different tiles that could augment the color of the fabric seat section. Wood-patterned pieces would give the model a distinct touch of character and visual texture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Customizable Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing furniture that can be customized and personalized to suit individual preferences and styles. - **Functional Building Blocks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating building block models that serve a practical purpose in addition to their aesthetic appeal. - **Realistic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing realistic-looking furniture models that bridge the gap between traditional and modern aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating modular and customizable features into furniture manufacturing processes to cater to changing consumer preferences. - **Toy Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating functional elements into building block toys to enhance their play value and appeal to a wider audience. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experimenting with unconventional materials and designs to create furniture pieces that challenge traditional notions of interior decor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [One-Legged Structural Wooden Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pere-chair.md) - [Building Block Chess Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tower-chess-set.md) - [Show Skit-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-bean-skit.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-x-room-copenhagen.md) - [Flatpack Single-Piece Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-chair-set.md) - [Antique-Style Building Block Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-led-lamp.md) - [Sustainable Hi-Rise Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollygagger.md) - [Block Puzzle Modular Dollhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollhouse-concept.md)
