Japan’s Doppelganger Outdoor is famous for its thoughtful designs aimed at improving outdoor activities – from camping, trekking to just taking a walk in the park. Its latest product is the Good Rack Sofa, a foldable outdoor sofa that has a removable cushioned cover. The cover is made with polyester and filled with cotton so comfort is ensured, as well as being waterproof and keeping you warm. The frame is made with aluminium alloy, meaning the entire sofa is merely 5.65 kg, complete with handle for easy carrying. Despite its light weight, the Good Rack Sofa has a loading of 160 kg and the width is good for two persons sitting together. The folded dimensions are just 1000(W)x130(D)×670(H)mm, meaning it can easily fit into most car boots.

For vehicles with spacious luggage compartment such as SUVs, the Good Rack Sofa can double as a luggage rack, making tents and bags more organised and easier to reach. Turning the sofa into a rack is simple: just remove the cushioned cover, loosen the back of the sofa from the frame and fold it down with the seat. The generous loading is sufficient for bags and tents for your average camping trips.

The Good Rack Sofa is available for pre-order for mid-February delivery. Priced at 9,500 yen, it certainly is a helpful and accessible tool for anyone who loves getting close to nature.
