A History of The Bean Bag

It is broadly regarded that the bean bag has been designed by Roger Dean, a twenty year old employee at the English firm Hille Furniture - a company that had been started by a Russian emigrant within the east end of Greater London around 1906. Roger Dean, who worked along with Hille, is recognized by some being the daddy of the bean bag. Although his design and style for the Sea Urchin easy chair enabled it to mould to the shape of the man or woman being carried, it was made up of polyurethane foam areas, and so was consequently rather different to the liquid nature of the polystyrene pellets within a cloth bag. It was the Sea Urchin model that introduced him to Hille, and brought about the commission to provide the interior of the newly-expanded Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, in London. The reclining chair was composed of 12 parts of polyurethane foam and covered in different types of fur. Despite the fact that it was rounded, the chair would mould itself towards the shape connected with the sitter, who could achieve a comfortable seating posture of many different angles. A few debate that the Sea Urchin is nothing more than a tailored futon mattress, not that it is important simply because the Sea Urchin is extensively credited as being the forerunner to the Sacco and what many of us understand at this time as the beanbag. It's not until 1969 that the beanbag as all of us recognize it sprang into existence. Italian stylists Gatti, Paolini, and Teodora were working hard for the Zanotta Organization and were striving to find the most suitable type of easy chair to promote to 1960's hipsters and hippies. The seat would have to be eye-catching, well-designed, and also in-tune with the sixties life-style. With the brief determined they began constructing this seat, and what they gave birth to has been called the Sacco, or the Socco as it was known as overseas. It was the Sacco that was the 1st contemporary bean bag - a pear shaped leather carrier full of thermocol pellets. It is rumoured that the Socco was basically an accidental breakthrough that originated in a foam manufacturer where they placed all the excess pieces from the manufacturing line in a bag. In any event the Sacco grew to become the first modern-day beanbag. In the 70s the Sacco became greatly well-liked and brought the couple of creative designers overnight recognition. The easy chair was much like the current day beanbag. Even so, in contrast to the widespread bean bag chair, the Sacco was pear shaped and is produced from genuine high-quality leather, and has a head rest part created by moving pellets. It oozed class, sophistication, luxury as a consequence was a costly product to make and purchase. In the nineteen seventies the Sacco was mass publicized but not as the Sacco. Marketers needed a title for an imitation of the Sacco, and so they created the rather more distinct name - the beanbag. The difference between the Sacco and the beanbag was that the beanbag employed cheaper components to help to make it more affordable for the normal person. The beanbag would continue on to grow to be a symbol of the nineteen seventies along with the disco ball, lava lights, space invaders, Pong and also Abba. Throughout the 1980's the beanbag shed the majority of its stylish recognition and for that reason ended up being relegated to the world of 'kiddie furniture'. The beanbag grew to become the kid's preference of chair for viewing television. The beanbags popularity wasn't done any favours when a number of young people were hurt and even choked to death after crawling inside beanbag chairs and inhaling the beans in the bag. In March 1995, the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) in the USA recalled some12, 000,000 bean bag seats and required all chairs offered in the market place following that date to have childproof zips. A beanbag revival began in the later part of 1990's thanks to manufacturers who commenced using improved production techniques such as dual stitches and much better materials together with aesthetic enhancements which helped to produce beanbags which were stronger and more enticing. Over the last 10 years the beanbag has risen in reputation and has become more than just an indoor comfy chair. Now you can get hold of outside beanbags suitable for summer season parties, beanbags for the swimming pool, beanbags mattresses for your dogs and cats, and even beanbag stools and settees. Sumo even makes specialised game playing beanbags. Whole new generations are finding the beanbag the first time because of their 60's appeal and unrivalled comfort.
