Renowned Italian designers developed the first bean bag chairs in the 1960’s. Their creation was called the ‘Sacco’, and was at the time described as an ‘anatomical armchair. It became the first mass produced bean bag furniture. Just like its counterpart these days, the Sacco was filled with polystyrene beads that made it lightweight and easy to mold to the shape of the body. Enhancements to its size and shape have occurred over time. In general the bean bag chair form remains true to the design of the Sacco from the 1960’s.
The original concept behind the bean bag chair was to create stylish mobile furniture, which is unlike conventional bulky furniture. Thus the bean bag chair is easily moved from room to room, as well as from indoors to outdoors. The design of it is highly praised, as it adapts to many different body shapes. The original Sacco featured a headrest that got its shape from beans being pushed up into this area. In more modern bean bags, the head area is not a separate component, rather now it is a part of the bean bag chair which is accentuated.
These days, bean bag chairs are available in a vast range of colors and styles. However not all fabrics are created equal — some are more hardwearing, some suitable for outdoors use, whereas others may be warmer to the touch. In general though, the sturdier the fabric, the longer the bean bag chair will last. Sturdier fabrics are easier to maintain and clean, and require less care. Also, darker colored fabrics show fewer marks and stains than lighter ones do. If the climate is cooler (for example Quetta) a chair with a fur rather than denim fabric will be warmer.
Fur bean bag chairs are an extra cozy option and come in a variety of colors and designs. Many feature designs that resemble animal hides, while others feature bright cherry colors. Denim bean bag chairs are one of the more hardwearing designs. These have a classic coloring and are one of the easiest styles to co-ordinate with the rest of your home decoration. Like a pair of favorite jeans, denim bean bags will go with most other colors. Nylon and Vinyl bean bags help repel liquid, so are suitable options if there are children around. Vinyl features a more leathery look and a textured feel.
