Fatboy® beanbag chair chosen as the best new piece of furniture in Europe

Reader’s Digest has chosen the Fatboy® beanbag chair created by the Finnish designer Jukka Setälä as the best new piece of furniture. The best new innovations, acts, phenomena and persons were presented for the second time this summer in the article “Best of Europe”.

The Fatboy® beanbag chair offers an attractive alternative to the traditional beanbag chair. The chair’s large dimensions and firm structure guarantee complete relaxation. This comfortable and practical chair is now also available in two Marimekko patterns: Unikko in red and black, and Kaivo in red-black and brown-black.

Marimekko and Fatboy® signed the licensing agreement in 2005.
