Deep Dive: Questioning the design of everyday things

The beach chair needs to be redesigned for a few reasons.  The design is not practical in sand nor is it a practical design for carrying.  The only thing that makes a beach chair specific to a beach is maybe the fabric used and the fact that it can fold up.   Otherwise it does not meet many of the needs that one has when using the chair.  It could be greatly improved to be easier to travel with, more logical and steady and to serve as more than just a seat.
