Features of tourist furniture, quality requirements, important nuances
A comfortable stay depends on many factors, due to which the overall impression of the time spent is formed. Tourist furniture is an important component of any vacation. Its tasks include not only providing convenience for vacationers, but also the availability of transportation, as well as ease and ease of use.
Design Features
When creating furniture designed for relaxation, manufacturers pay great attention to design features. There are a number of necessary requirements for this type of product. They are due to the nature of use, because a table, chair or a set of tourist furniture taken on a trip should ensure a comfortable stay, and not create a number of problems.
Factors that are considered in the design and production:
- Items should not be too heavy: they can be easily lifted, moved and carried with you;
- Lightness should not be achieved in any way due to the deterioration of product strength. The material from which the furniture is made must be strong and durable;
- Mounting parts must be reliable and durable;
- One of the most important characteristics is the folding design of the products. This solution allows you to save space during transportation, as well as facilitate easy carrying. An important criterion is easy and quick folding. Folding tourist furniture is brought into working position, usually with one or two simple movements;
- Material for the manufacture of this type of furniture is selected taking into account special operating conditions. It should be moisture resistant, easy to wash and clean, and also not fade in the sun (do not lose color brightness);
- Since tourist furniture is created in the format of a folding structure, it is important to ensure the reliability of the mechanisms for fixing the product in an open form. The object in the finally unfolded state should give a characteristic click, meaning the completion and fastening of the open form;
- Orientation at creation of products on wide possibilities of use. Vacation furniture can be useful not only for the rest. Functionally and in appearance, the format of the piece of furniture should be as suitable as possible for use in everyday life (on the balcony, at work in the pavilions).
The maximum challenge facing the manufacturer is to create a lightweight compact item that does not take up much space during transportation. According to its characteristics, it should be so weightless that even a child will be able to lift and carry it. When designing and manufacturing futuristic furniture, it is important to organize safe conditions of use.
The product should not be easily opened or closed not at the request of the owner, which can lead to injury to a person nearby. The reliability of the fastening and the material as a whole are important. In production, the maximum use of environmental materials is desirable.
The main types
A wide selection of rulers allows you to determine the specific purpose of the product, using all the possibilities to improve the quality of rest. Various aspects are taken into account: the number of people in the company, the method of transportation, the terrain, and weather conditions.
The most common production of such furniture is in protective colors. Products in this color are invisible on vacation. At the same time, bright options are very popular, which are well suited for relaxing near ponds and in sunny areas, as well as for organizing colorful outdoor photo shoots.
Table
There are two types of product surface: hard and soft. The first type includes a table, which is advisable to transport in a car. Typically, this option folds into a suitcase, which allows you to put some necessary items inside, for example, picnic products.
Some models are equipped with special shelves below, usually made of elastic materials. This option allows you to conveniently store the necessary things. In the event that the shelves are closed with heat-protective fabric on all sides, longer storage of products is ensured, as well as preservation of the cooled state for drinks. Tables with a soft surface can be folded, which allows them to be easily transported manually or in special fasteners to the backpack. But this option is less durable and convenient to use.
Chair
The most compact and easy to carry item in a set of tourist furniture. The most simple and budget option is a folding stool. Also on the market are numerous chairs with a back. The frame is made of durable metal alloy. For regular use, it is preferable to choose models with synthetic material. If it is planned to use a folding chair on vacation near the sea or just in the hot season, the manufacture of a chair surface from any other durable eco-friendly material is considered optimal.
Cot
A folding bed is an ideal option for long trips with the possibility of movement by car. Such tourist furniture provides sleeping places for vacationers. This option is especially suitable for traveling with children. The most popular designs with a metal body. Recently, however, fashionable environmental clamshells on a wooden base are gaining momentum. Such a piece of furniture is not only practical and convenient to use, but also has a stylish and unique design.
It is interesting that this item has long been an ideal solution for organizing an overnight stay for guests in the house. Moreover, if people live in a new apartment and do repairs in parallel, then they cannot find a more ideal solution for sleep. Foldable design allows you to quickly remove the cot from the room, so as not to interfere with ongoing work. After all, if you immediately install a good permanent furniture, then in addition to limiting the space, you can simply spoil it, for example, with paint.
Tent
You can choose from tents made of material of various densities. Two-layer products are recommended for purchase, allowing to protect the space inside from external moisture, as well as conduct air, providing ventilation.

Manufacturers offer both plastic constructions and inflatable ones. Travelers especially liked the latter view, as it is very convenient and compact in transportation. Inflating such a product takes no more than a minute. A specially designed sewing of a soft deck chair allows you to completely fill the subject with air with a couple of swings, even in calm weather. Dimensional folding devices are ideal for permanent residence in one place (for example, in the garden in the country), as well as when transporting in a large car.
Hammock
Such an object will definitely give any vacation a romantic touch. It is difficult to imagine a lighter type of tourist furniture to carry. The hammock consists of a dense elongated canvas and two mounts. In rare cases, a grid-shaped texture is found.
