Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The RESMO System Facilitates Cheap and Easy Airport Camping

— December 7, 2013 — Art & Design
Many factors keep plenty of travelers from booking a night in an airport hotel, even when it's the most sensible move. The RESMO has been developed for shorter stop-overs, tourists on shoestring budgets and those who find themselves stranded at the terminal with no advanced reservation for an evening's accommodation.

Ko Chien-Hui's creation can be creased and flattened so that it can be stored compactly in great numbers. They unfold into beds, recliners and more upright chairs with sturdy supports and the option of setting up privacy hoods. Users can sit, relax and even sleep on these modular and adaptable mattresses. Perhaps the RESMO could be inexpensively rented, or provided for passengers by airlines when schedules and aircraft are experiencing major delays.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Airport Accommodation - Opportunity for developing foldable beds and chairs that can be easily stored and utilized by travelers during layovers or delays.
2. Modular Travel Accessories - Potential for creating adaptable mattresses and furniture pieces for travel purposes that can be easily transformed into different forms.
3. Affordable Airport Lodging - Opportunity to offer cost-effective accommodation options for budget-conscious travelers, such as renting or providing foldable sleeper seats by airlines.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Innovative furniture design and production can meet the demand for portable and modular travel accessories.
2. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can explore cost-friendly airport lodging options to cater to travelers on shoestring budgets or experiencing unexpected layovers.
3. Transportation - Airlines and other transportation companies can consider providing foldable sleeper seats as a value-added service to improve customer experience during delays or lengthy layovers.
