# Flipped Footstool Flower Pots The Otto Fulfills a Different Function, Depending on its Orientation By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offi-otto References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/otto-outdoor-ottoman-planter/) & [offi](http://www.offi.com/products/seating/OTTO.php?p2c=1643) Those of us without plenty of space and money to spare can usually appreciate the value of versatile designs. The Offi Otto is one such object that can perform a pair of different functions that can enhance your patio area. Lisa Albin of Iglooplay worked with Offi to make an [ottoman that would match](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platero) the existing Mod Lounger. This movable would too be made of rotational-molded plastic material, embodying the same structural strength, durability against the weather and a matching color scheme so that it can be paired with any one of the associated recliners. Should you find more use for a [planter instead of a footrest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1), however, the Offi Otto can be turned over to accommodate soil and lush greenery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Versatile Designs:** Opportunities for designing objects that can serve multiple functions. - **Rotational-molded Plastic:** Innovations in using durable and weather-resistant plastic materials for various products. - **Outdoor Furniture:** Growing demand for patio and garden furniture that combines functionality and aesthetics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating versatile furniture pieces. - **Plastic Manufacturing:** Opportunities for developing new techniques and materials in rotational molding. - **Home and Garden:** Innovations in outdoor furniture and decor that cater to smaller spaces and budget-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Upholstered Bright Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster.md) - [Adventurous Versatile Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipster-seat.md) - [Transforming Child Stool Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipflap-childrens-chair.md) - [Colorful Dual-Purpose Stool Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s1-stool.md) - [Elevated Sleek Versatile Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-stool.md) - [Multifunctional Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-plant-planter.md) - [Dual-Position Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-design-concept.md) - [Terrarium Stool Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-stool.md) - [Dual-Function Seating Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubik-stool.md)
