# Surfboard Furniture ‘Sit Down' by Adam Scott By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-11-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surfboard-furniture-sit-down-by-adam-scott References: [yatzer](http://www.yatzer.com/1366_sit_down_by_adam_scott) & [adamscottdesign](http://www.adamscottdesign.co.uk/) Adam Scott took a radical surfboard slant with his attitude-driven ‘Sit Down’ chair design. “The aim of the piece was to provide a juxtaposition and a contradiction for the perceived usages of a product,” says Scott. Seating is generally soft and comfy, and he has taken a [hard-edge, slick approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr) to ‘Sit Down.’ The lack of comfort may be forgivable considering the chair's hot look. The chair, shot here on a secluded beach, looks like a shark complete with fins and a slate gray color. These photos could easily be seen on the front cover of a surf magazine, inclusive of hot surfer guy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Surfboard-inspired Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to incorporate surfboard elements into furniture designs, creating unique and eye-catching pieces. - **Contradictory Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Challenge traditional expectations by creating furniture that goes against the norm in terms of comfort and aesthetics, appealing to consumers seeking bold and unconventional pieces. - **Beach-inspired Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop furniture designs that capture the essence of the beach and surfing culture, allowing consumers to bring the coastal lifestyle into their homes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Infuse elements of surfboards and beach aesthetics into furniture designs, appealing to consumers seeking unique and visually striking pieces for their spaces. - **Interior Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create beach-inspired furniture and decor items that cater to consumers looking to bring a relaxed coastal vibe into their homes or businesses. - **Surfing and Lifestyle Brands:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with furniture designers to create surfboard-inspired pieces that align with the aesthetics and values of surfing and lifestyle brands, offering consumers a cohesive beach lifestyle experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fishing-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akos-huber.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seat-urchin.md) - [Soothing Boat-Like Lounge Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canoa-chair.md) - [Wavy Lounge Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wavy-lounge-chair.md) - [Simplistically Shaped Geometric Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair.md) - [Aesthetically Pleasing Minimalist Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-chairs.md) - [Dynamic Structural Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldont-chair.md) - [Versatile Beach Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-beach-chair.md) - [Lounge Chair-Inspired Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-lounge-cruiser.md)
