The Italian traditional manufacturer Zanotta has 12 products in his collection, which carry the title “Evergreen” –one of the exclusive members of the family is the beanbag Sacco, which was desgined by the designers Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro in 1968.

Sacco is a real stylish piece of furniture, because it is the first beanbag of the world! The Italian designer became the idea to fill up the bags with styrofoam balls, while looking for a seat which fits the human body. This displays themself through an extreme flexibility, because of its light weight they where easy and low cost to develop. A innovative idea, which found its way into the world of the modern, young people really easy and fast.

Also after 40 years, the beanbag is still a very liked article - highly visible is the multitude of the plagiarism, out of which come some beautiful, and some not so beautiful samples – but Sacco, the original, is still inaccessible.

Other fabric and colour versions of the Sacco beanbag are also available on request!
