If you're looking to make a decent amount of money, it's worth taking a closer look at your surroundings to find a business idea based on improving everyday items for consumers. While this might sound cliché, the realm of such business ideas is practically inexhaustible, with numerous successful examples of enhancing standard household items.

This time, let's turn to the concepts showcased on the YankoDesign blog, which highlights the most innovative industrial design ideas. Let's explore an idea that could bring significant income to both its creator and those who implement this innovation in their business.

Opla – Standing Chairs for Public Transport

Think about how comfortable it is to ride in the subway, bus, or trolleybus in those "standing" spots? Especially after a long day of work... The crowds, fatigue, and stepping on toes have long been familiar experiences for city dwellers.

This issue caught the attention of a group of designers led by Fatemeh Bateni. Through collaborative efforts, they developed the concept of the "standing chair." This structure is capable of supporting the weight of a standing person, thereby relieving their legs and back. And if desired, one can sit on this chair like a tall barstool. The height of the structure is adjustable. The seat is ergonomically shaped and made of durable, soft silicone. It provides a comfortable alternative to simply standing.

However, the real value lies not in the comfort of the invention but in its functional benefits for segmenting the subway car or bus cabin:

  • Compactness. These chairs are much more compact than traditional seats, allowing for comfortable conditions for a larger number of passengers.
  • Segmentation. A cabin divided by such chairs gives most passengers a piece of personal space, shielding them from the jostling. This enhances the comfort of the journey and the popularity of your transportation route.
  • Versatility. The seats can be lowered and raised to the desired height, further enhancing their usability.

If you negotiate effectively with public transport owners and manufacturers and clearly outline the advantages of using such chairs, you can ensure a steady stream of orders for years to come. The decisive factor may be the cost of the chairs, which will definitely be lower than that of traditional public transport seats.

While this idea is still in the conceptual stage, you can develop chairs of a similar design and focus on promoting them in the market. Who knows, thanks to your business idea, the face of public transport in our country may change for the better.
