65 Collapsible Creations

From Accordion Keyboards to Collapsible Message Chairs

— December 12, 2009 — Eco
Collapsible products are essential in the ever-shrinking world which we live in. The most important aspect of these collapsible products is that they retain their quality while reducing in physical quantity. A collapsing keyboard is great until you are missing a 'W' and 'R.'

From accordion keyboards to collapsible message chairs, check out the 25 collapsible creations.

Implications - The pattern in this list indicates the needs of the modern-day and future consumer. It is evident that people want their products to be smaller and more compact due to people's busy, everyday lives. It is more practical in this day and age to have something portable, and consumers will be more reluctant to buy a product if it suits their busy lifestyle.
