fatbiy + dwell ...sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!


dwell fatboy original via jukka setala with dwell™ the original fatboy. . .made for serious lounging, is now available in two dwell™ designs: chocolate and fuchsia. these bold, modern designs were created in stripe and dot opposites.the fatboy original was designed in finland as the new alternative to the "beanbag" from the past. grab a book and cuddle with your mini. this huge bag will surely become your mini's favorite spot to read, play, jump or do just about anything! made of a practical and easy to clean nylon with a special coating, a simple rub with a damp cloth and your fatboy will continue to look new. the inside filling is made of tiny EPS cylindrical pieces [expanded polystyrene packaging.] $299.00 [US] at good ol' modernseed. and we love it! why do you ask? because we have had our sassy silver sumo lounge omni for 4 yrs and although it is monstrous in size, especially if you live in a shoebox like we do - but we can't give it up? [we have a sumo because of a 'big deal' trade show booth we did - let's not go there shall we] keeps the kids off my minotti during a play date and their own safety space if they need to wrestle. i do wish we had more beads to fill it a tiny bit more. and a good scrub down from time to time and and clean and new. [fyi -jukka setälä from finland designed the fatboy® in 1998 as the beanbag from the 21st century.] and yes, the sumo lounge is the cheaper option but fatboy has more design options_the choice is up to you my dear readers.
