- You can roll on the wearing it without having to move as many muscles.
- The pear-shaped goofy-looking bean bag is already a hit on Japanese social media.
- Another customer, Yuu Matsuzaki, said it could also double as a blanket during winters in homes lacking central heating.
- And of course, you don't always have to wear this bean bag. It can double as a normal bean bag too.
The inspiration behind the concept: Takikawa said that the concept wasn't necessarily born out of the Covid-19 pandemic and work-from-home requirements. It was when the prototype of the product became popular among the company staff that they decided to go with it.
- Takiko Sewing specialises in making comfortable and modern home furniture. It also has a range of bean bag collections.
