Milan 09: Dutch brand Montis presented a “beanbag on legs” by Dutch designer Bertjan Pot, at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan last week.
The chair, which is called Lazy Bastard, is filled with polystyrene balls like a beanbag, but also has arms, a back and legs.
See all our stories from Milan 09 in our special category.
Here’s some info from Montis:
–
A beanbag sits and fits like a glove. The polystyrene bead filling adjusts to any sitting position.
Bertjan Pot with Lazy Bastard combines the casualness of a beanbag with the comfort of a lounge chair.
He placed the beanbag as it were on legs, in a smooth outer shape that contains the flexible contents. Lazy Bastard allows for extra comfortable sitting as its seat is higher and fitted with armrests.
The specially designed fabric gives the beanbag chair a relaxed look and touch that will particularly appeal to the youth, as well as the price tag will.
Legs: color frame corresponding with fabric color, with black synthetic caps
Filling: the cover is filled with polystyrene beads and can be refilled
Proportions (w x d x h): 93 x 98 x 76 cm
Upholstery: fabric Triangle or Stitch
Available: on request

The seat is too long to bend the knees and too short to put the legs up. I would think the intended buyer would prefer the legs to be extended?

chairs…like buildings need to be photographed with people in them so we can tell how uncomfortable (or not) they are!

prof. z there is no new trend in sack-like sofas.
regarding the seating, when you sit lazily, your back is usually curved and half of it is leaning on the lower rest, meaning your legs are left hanging. not with this design, quite nice.

a beanbag on legs with the typology of an armchair, it’s a very new concept…
