Butt’s Bean Bag

by Chinhua Lin

Bean Bag Chair

Upright, tidy, breathing gently
once they look away
unzip that bind of etiquette, and
Poof!
release the awesomeness in you

With the simple pull of a zipper the Butt’s Bean Bag morphs from a tidy, structured pouf to an insouciant, resplendent lounger. The concept is derived from the now ubiquitous, but then revolutionary multi-size, graded, garment pattern developed by Ebenezer Butterick in 1866.

76 cm W x 76 cm D x 76 cm H 100% Wool (grey, chartreuse or teal), spandex, polystyrene filling, zippers
