Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

Habitus Loves… Beanbags

They’ve never really gone out of fashion, but beanbags have definitely grown up over the years. Here’s 8 of our favourite contemporary beanbag designs and why we love them.

ROO
		Designed by: Ulla Koskinen for Woodnotes Why we love it: This amazing beanbag is made from spun paper yarn. A paper beanbag? We know, amazing, right? It invites you to recline and relax. Much love. Where you can get it: Anibou and Woodnotes
Big Elephant
		Designed by: Yenn Design Why we love it: The name automatically makes this a playful design. We like to think of them more as a pair of elephant’s pants, sewn up and stuffed. Can be used in a heap of different positions on its own or with others. Where you can get it: FeelGood Designs and Yenn Design
Swell
		Designed by: Form Us With Love Why we love it: This beanbag has structure. A beautiful wire frame makes this much more of a chair, but still with that sinky feeling of a beanbag. Like a pudgy rosebud. Where you can get it: Voice Furniture
FATBOY Jeans
		Designed by: Original by Jukka Setala Why we love it: The Fatboy is like an oversized pillow. So simple, so big, and in denim, so cool! Where you can get it: Hub Furniture and Fatboy
Bonnet
		Designed by: Liset Van der Scheer Why we love it: Although these little guys are more pouffes than bean bags, their form is similar and so appealing. Coming in a number of shapes and sizes the pieces have removable knitted ‘bonnet’ covers. Gotta love the little bonnet detail at the top! Where you can get it: Casalis
Togo
		Designed by: Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset Why we love it: This is the grown-ups version of the beanbag. Taking that plumpy aesthetic and bringing it to a lounge setting is pure genius. Where you can get it: Domo Collections
Coffee Fellow Beanbag
		Designed by: Johanna Hansson Why we love it: Made from 8 recycled coffee bean bags sewn together, this beanbag would have to be a coffee lover’s dream spot. Where you can get it: e-side
Marine Beanbag
		Designed by: Coast New Zealand Why we love it: Why not take the beanbag outdoors? That’s what Coast New Zealand have done with their range of waterproofed beanbags. The classic beanbag shape in the garden, could you ask for more? Where you can get it: Coast New Zealand
