249:. The predecessor of the product had a major design flaw of not being able to sustain its form and never reached production. Sacco addressed that flaw with the use of leather for the exterior and right placed stitching. The use of leather was not coincidental, as at that time the textile was an Italian national pride product. The target user of the chair was the lax, hippie community and their non-conformist household.

Italian anti-design movement. Its complete flexibility and formlessness made it the perfect antidote to the static formalism of mainstream Italian furniture of the period,” as Penny Spark wrote in
600:'s Fatboy. The product launched in 2002 brought the Finnish designer global recognition. The new form of the bean bag chair has less stitching and a more geometrical take in the means of shape. It also has an

Italian design of that time, but also: "the human and creative element in modern industrial design as well as its practical, economic and social benefits."
