# Repurposed Pallet Furniture The Re-Stacked Lounger is a Lightweight Mobile Seating Structure By Meghan Young | Published 2013-08-23 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restacked-lounger References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/08/23/repurposing-done-right/) Repurposing existing objects into pieces of furniture has become a sort of art form this days; with this in mind, the Re-Stacked Lounger is a masterpiece. Although it clearly doesn't mask its past, it has been creatively and cleverly restructured in order to fulfill its new purpose in as stylish and comfortable a manner as possible. Designed by John van Huenen, Andrew Wilkie, Stephanie Ward, Ursula Davy, & Hannah Hutchinson, the Re-Stacked Lounger is made out of a shipping pallet. Converted into a lightweight mobile seating structure, the pallets are placed on wheels in order to make them more accessible and portable. Complete with a backrest, the Re-Stacked Lounger could easily accommodate three people, maybe even more. It's industrial appeal makes it perfect for traditional and modern settings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 93% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Repurposed Furniture:** Businesses interested in sustainable design can leverage repurposed materials to create unique furniture pieces for consumers. - **Upcycling:** An upcycling trend can be leveraged to create innovative and eco-friendly furniture designs. - **Mobile Furniture:** Designers can create lightweight and portable furniture pieces to cater to urban living and nomadic lifestyles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can incorporate repurposed and upcycled materials into their product lines to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate mobile and modular furniture into their designs to meet the needs of modern consumers who prioritize flexibility and mobility. - **Sustainability:** Sustainability-focused firms can create innovative furniture designs using repurposed and upcycled materials to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upcycled Denim Waste Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluff-stack-furniture.md) - [Recycled Scissor-Like Folding Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauld-chair.md) - [Recycled Dynamic Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair.md) - [Recycled Stacking Seating Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sting-chair.md) - [Vibrant Chaise Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versarest.md) - [Ergonomic Inflated Reclined Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-faurebrac.md) - [Sustainable Felt Stack Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacklab.md) - [Flatpack Single-Piece Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-chair-set.md) - [Fan-Shaped Stackable Stool Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stool-concept.md)
