The History of the Designer Bean Bag
The bean bag as we know it today became a style icon in the 1960s and 70s — a symbol of an era that valued comfort, expression and the freedom to rearrange a room on a whim.
Its modern form can be firmly dated to 1969 — the invention of three Italian designers, Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro, first manufactured by Italian company Zanotta. Their original design, the pear-shaped leather Sacco, is still in production today. The story goes that the company's owners noticed staff sitting on polystyrene-filled bags during coffee breaks — and the rest, as they say, is furniture history.
Today, designer bean bags have moved well beyond the original Sacco. Modern fabrics — from velvet and corduroy to UV-stable Olefin and commercial-grade 1680D polyester — mean bean bags now suit environments the original designers never imagined: resort pool decks, superyacht lounges, 5-star hotel lobbies and high-traffic commercial spaces where aesthetics and durability have to coexist.
Designer Bean Bags for Every Commercial Space
resorts & hotels
From Maldives overwater villas to Australian coastal resorts, our outdoor and pool bean bags create the poolside moments guests photograph and remember. Trusted by Four Seasons, Hilton, W Hotels, One&Only and Marriott.
superyachts & marine
Custom marine-grade bean bags built for salt air, UV and the demands of life on the water. We've supplied designer bean bags to some of Australia's most prestigious private and charter vessels.
restaurants, bars & cafés
Replace standard seating with something guests actually want to spend time in. Designer bean bags create an atmosphere that keeps people comfortable, relaxed and ordering more.
offices & breakout spaces
Progressive workplaces use flexible seating to create collaboration zones, quiet corners and informal meeting spaces. Our commercial range handles daily office use without compromise.
shopping centres & public spaces
High-traffic, high-visibility environments need seating that's durable, easy to clean and visually consistent with the space. We supply to shopping centres, public libraries and civic spaces across Australia.
television & entertainment productions
The Block, Love Island, Big Brother, Channel 9 — our bean bags have featured in some of Australia's most watched productions. We understand production timelines and can deliver at scale.
Bean Bag Styles — Which Shape Is Right for Your Project?
round & teardrop chairs
The most versatile shape — suitable for most rooms and most users. Supports the body from the hips to the neck and encourages a low, relaxed sitting position. Available in kids, teen and adult sizes. Our most popular commercial style.
loungers & recliners
Larger, flatter profiles designed for reclining rather than sitting upright. Ideal for poolside, beach, deck and outdoor cinema settings. The Bermuda, Copacabana and Positano are our top resort and hospitality styles.
gaming chairs
Long sessions in front of a screen place real strain on the body without proper support. We designed the Bermuda Triangle specifically for gaming — supporting from the hips to the head so posture stays comfortable no matter how long you're in the chair.
square chairs & ottomans
Square bean bags suit environments where a structured footprint works better than a round shape — offices, event spaces and commercial interiors. Available with and without arms in a variety of sizes and configurations.
novelty & custom shapes
Custom shapes designed to brief — bears, trees, vehicles, character shapes. Harper Collins commissioned our Cat in the Hat bean bags for a Dr Seuss launch. Whatever you can imagine, our design team can produce.
kids & junior sizes
Smaller sizes from 60cm for children aged 2–10. Available in indoor cotton and outdoor polyester fabrics. All sold with removable inner liners for easy cleaning. Child-safe locking YKK zippers standard on every product.
