# Sky Chairs Swinging SKY Suspension Seating for Kids of All Ages By Katie Cordrey | Published 2009-01-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-chairs-suspended-hammock-seating-swing References: [skychairs](http://www.skychairs.com) & [skychairs.de](http://www.skychairs.de/) I’m dreaming of sitting in my SKY chair in spring, looking out at the scenery, sandwich in hand… the economical version of a Dinner in the Sky adventure (see related trends.) SKY Chair is a family-owned business based in Boulder, Colorado. They’ve been making their original, award-winning hanging chair by hand for more than 25 years. Cotton-canvas treated with paraffin wax is the material used for the chair body. It was chosen for its comfort and durability. Judging from the [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-national-park) videos, people like spinning in SKY Chairs, but the video above is of a SKY Chair merry-go-round at a renaissance fair. The fairs are a primary marketing venue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Suspension Seating:** The use of suspension seating technology can be applied to various industries, such as outdoor furniture or transportation vehicles, to provide a unique and comfortable experience for customers. - **Handcrafted Products:** Creating and marketing handcrafted products can appeal to consumers who value quality and uniqueness and can be integrated into the fashion, home decor, and gift industries. - **Experiential Marketing:** Businesses can utilize experiential marketing tactics to promote their products, such as creating a Sky Chair merry-go-round or hosting pop-up events that incorporate the product into an interactive experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Outdoor Furniture:** The use of suspension seating technology can be applied to outdoor furniture, providing new and unique designs that can appeal to customers who enjoy outdoor leisure activities. - **Transportation Vehicles:** Integrating suspension seating technology into transportation vehicles such as planes, trains, and buses can offer a more comfortable and innovative travel experience for passengers. - **Renewable Energy:** Utilizing renewable materials and energy sources to produce handcrafted products like Sky Chairs, can appeal to eco-conscious consumers who value environmentally-friendly products and practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playground-Inspired Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swing-seat.md) - [Peaceful Geometric Hanging Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iko-hanging-chair.md) - [Contemporary Leather Classic Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sling-chair-1.md) - [Featherlight Hammock Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-hammock.md) - [Sustainable Hi-Rise Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollygagger.md) - [Pocket-Sized Outdoor Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-sized-chair.md) - [Stainless Steel Reflective Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-view-chair.md) - [Minimalist Outdoor Swings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-swing.md) - [Dynamic Movement Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wobbl-rocking-chair.md)
