Fatboy
From a revolutionary bean bag to a successful lifestyle brand
It all started with the Original bean bag by Jukka Setälä. In 1988, the Finnish designer created the floor cushion that would later become known as the bean bag of the 21st century. In 2002, Dutchman Alex Bergman acquired the design and marketing rights and launched the Fatboy success story with the "Original bean bag".
Fatboy Original bean bag
Right from the start, the Fatboy Original bean bag was exciting, unconventional and full of joie de vivre, and the cuddly Fatboy floor cushion quickly won fans everywhere. Some found the Fatboy bean bag almost a little provocative, but for most, this designer bean bag is simply comfortable, cosy and great fun. Building on this, Fatboy steadily expanded its range beyond the Original bean bag. Today, Fatboy offers not only bean bags in every variation, but also products for young and old, big and small, two-legged and four-legged friends – products that make life sweeter and every day a little sunnier.
With its friendly presence, the Fatboy Original bean bag has always been something like a member of the family for Fatboy fans. Every Fatboy product has its own personality, its own character and its own talents.
Fatboy indoor collection
With Fatboy indoor products such as the Original bean bag, you'll never want to go outside again. Relaxation is the order of the day, and "playful lounging" is the new motto. Fatboy's indoor products feel at home in all kinds of interiors, in every flat, every house and every city. First and foremost, of course, is the Fatboy bean bag, which is now available with a removable cover, as a stonewashed bean bag and as a junior bean bag. Play with the floor cushions or "real" cushions such as the Cuscino, style according to your mood and enjoy an unforgettable indoor lounge experience – playful and full of colour.
Fatboy outdoor range
When the weather's too good to stay cooped up indoors, Fatboy products turn the garden, the beach or the park into a lounge. Mix and match bean bags, the Fatboy Picnic Lounge and floor cushions as you like and create the outdoor space of your dreams. The Fatboy outdoor bean bag variants can take quite a lot. A free Saturday with Fatboy starts on the balcony, with two of you stretched out on the bean bag in the sun. Romp around with the kids, catch your breath, lounge and enjoy being outdoors together. Fatboy Outdoor adapts to your situation and is always up for some fun.
Fatboy lamps and Fatboy hammocks
Fatboy doesn't just make bean bags and floor cushions. With the Fatboy Edison the Petit, the Dutch manufacturer has launched a light that's as stylish as it is functional. Thanks to modern LED technology, its base lights up too, and its splash-proof housing means you can use it both indoors and outdoors. Of course, the Fatboy lamp doesn't just come in a plain version, but also with colourful, playful lampshades that put you in a good mood.
If you prefer to lie back and relax, the Fatboy hammock is the right choice. The Fatboy hammock is available in a wide range of bold and subtle colours, so there's something for every taste. Thanks to its carry bag, this outdoor product is also an easy travel companion.
The way of life
Whether it's the Fatboy Original bean bag or the Fatboy Junior bean bag, a light or a floor cushion, all these design products embody the philosophy of the Dutch company – the "Fatboy way of life". The bean bag manufacturer's motto stands for a mix of warmth, tolerance, openness and humour.
Fatboy products look at the world from different perspectives and approach things with joie de vivre and creativity.
