For the project, adidas got designer Darren Romanelli, also known as DRx, working with the co-founder of vintage brand [Round Two](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cica-body-wash), Sean Wotherspoon. As part of the collection, windbreakers, sweatshirts, shorts and other adidas designs have been turned into lounge chairs and love seats. For a limited time, these custom upcycled pieces are being given away to those who download the new adidas Confirmed app. Image Credit: adidas ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycled Activewear Furniture:** Opportunity for brands to use their vintage apparel to create unique and sustainable furniture designs. - **Vintage Apparel Upcycling:** Growing trend of repurposing vintage clothing into functional furniture, providing a sustainable solution for fashion waste. - **Limited Edition Furniture Giveaways:** Increasing trend of brands offering custom upcycled furniture as promotional items to encourage app downloads and consumer engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the potential of upcycling their vintage apparel into furniture designs, tapping into the sustainable fashion market. - **Furniture:** Furniture manufacturers can incorporate upcycling practices by collaborating with fashion brands to create unique and eco-friendly furniture pieces. - **Mobile Apps:** App developers can seize the opportunity to collaborate with brands and create apps that promote sustainability initiatives while offering exclusive giveaways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Shoe-Made Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison.md) - [Contemporary Upcycled Bright Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remix-maison-1.md) - [Upcycled Couch Sports Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-the-couch-bags.md) - [Deadstock-Formed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castor-sofa.md) - [Packaging-Inspired Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/box-shoe.md) - [Waste-Based Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-furniture1.md) - [Sustainable 3D-Printed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4dfwd-1.md) - [Upcycled Aircraft Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emirates-2.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md)
