Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Fatties Chair is a Perfect Father's Day Sentiment

— June 19, 2009 — Art & Design
Fathers love two things: Their lounge chairs and their neckties. Tracy Deramus is officially the greatest woman on the planet (in a male’s eyes) for creating the Fatties Chair.

This beautifully composed chair brings two male pleasantries (ties and loungers) together in a colorful and comfortable arrangement. This chair is a Father’s Day dream.

I would only assume that the downside to this revolutionary (yeah, I said it) invention is that eventually you’re going to want him to stand up and in all seriousness, I wouldn’t expect a response.
Trend Themes
1. Mixed-function Furniture - The Fatties Chair combines two different functions, seating and tie display, into one piece of furniture, highlighting the trend of mixed-function furniture.
2. Personalized Father's Day Gifts - The Fatties Chair taps into the trend of personalized and unique Father's Day gifts by incorporating a man's love for lounge chairs and neckties.
3. Creative Homeware Design - The Fatties Chair exemplifies the trend of creative and innovative design in homeware, utilizing ties in an unexpected and functional way.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The Fatties Chair presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the furniture design industry by merging multiple functions and incorporating unique elements.
2. Gift and Novelty - The Fatties Chair caters to the gift and novelty industry with its personalized and distinctive concept, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for Father's Day gifts.
3. Fashion and Accessories - The Fatties Chair creates a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion and accessories industry by showcasing ties as a decorative and functional element in furniture design.
