Roxanna Gressel's 'Oasis' Makes Outdoor Lunch During Winter a Reality

— November 28, 2011 — Eco
Roxanna Gressel is attempting to make outdoor seating accessible in all weather with her 'Oasis' design. Oasis is a small outdoor seating area designed for all types of weather. The small cylinder can seat a handful of people and features screens and a heater designed to shield occupants from harsh winter weather.

For all technological advancements, designers still have not developed a way to let people sit outside in the winter without freezing to death. Gressel's design would be ideal for those who need a break from the office or home during winter. Oasis is totally self-sufficient with solar panels on the roof gathering all the energy needed to power the heater. As someone who enjoys outdoor people watching in all weather, I'm rooting for Roxanna Gressel's Oasis to go from concept to reality sooner rather than later.
Trend Themes
1. All-weather Outdoor Seating - The trend of creating outdoor seating areas that can be enjoyed in all types of weather presents opportunities for designers to come up with innovative solutions.
2. Self-sufficient Design - The trend of designing self-sufficient structures, such as Oasis with solar panels, opens up opportunities for sustainable and environmentally friendly innovations.
3. Weather-proof Technology - The trend of developing weather-proof technology, like screens and heaters, offers opportunities to create more comfortable outdoor experiences regardless of the weather conditions.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Furniture - The outdoor furniture industry can leverage the trend of all-weather outdoor seating to create innovative designs that cater to people's desire to spend time outside in any season.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can explore the trend of self-sufficient design to develop innovative solutions that harness sustainable energy sources for various applications.
3. Smart Home Technology - The smart home technology industry can tap into the trend of weather-proof technology to create products that enhance the comfort and convenience of outdoor spaces, even in challenging weather conditions.
