Rest Your Bum Here, Perfect Perch Review - Yanko Design

January 31, 2022 Post a Comment

Great ideas oftentimes are simple executions. The Perfect Perch by James Chu is one of those ideas. Originally conceived equally affordable seating for college students, the Perfect Perch has grown to become so much more. Later the initial reaction of realizing "it'due south but paper-thin," it's become quite useful in the virtually unexpected situations.

Made entirely of thick pre-scored and creased recycled cardboard, the Perfect Perch comes in 2 design variations; gilded paisley and the other is an abstract grey pattern. There isn't much to the design in terms of using it. There are instructions on how to pop it open printed right on the side. Surprisingly information technology's quite sturdy. I'm 165lb and I had anybody from a 125lb girl to a 190lb guy sit on it. Information technology seems the more weight you put on information technology, the sturdier it becomes. We weren't able to do anything to collapse it which is of import considering of the public marketing potential. Nobody wants to fall on their ass in public.

Since it's just recycled paper, yous could hands impress any pattern you wanted to back-trail an event. Imagine all those times standing in line waiting for tickets. The launch of a new video game or better yet – the notorious Apple lines during shop openings or product launches. I could easily see Apple printing upward loads of them with their logo and distributing it to their "rabbid" fans. It'south cheap and a squeamish gift culling to t-shirts.

There'south also possible utilise in humanitarian assistance – seating for impoverished areas. The paper is finished to be waterproof and there's even a bed version. I'd love to see how that works. The design is totally environmentally audio being it can be constantly recycled and upcycled into other products. If you stick with soy based inks and biodegradable finishing – yous basically accept a product that fits within the cradle-to-cradle ethos.

What nosotros liked:

Lightweight, transports hands when folded
Extremely stiff, waterproof
Potential for marketing and collaborations with artists for custom designs
Dainty little arch in the rear to support your bum
Inexpensive and easily manufactured
Environmentally friendly

What could be improved:

£12 is a bit steep but passable for custom prints similar the gold paisley
Hook up with services like Flickr to allow people to custom print their own photos
