The humble beanbag. Formerly an intriguing, potentially diverting, if decidedly non-ergonomic artifact of the 70s, this utilitarian furnishing gets an attractive updating from U.K.'s feelgoodeesigns.

This time around, the bag's innards are concocted from a technologically advanced and naturally fire-resistant synthetic wool: "so instead of sliding around on a polystyrene bead filling (tipping your neighbour towards you!), you sink into the 'wool'."

This is a wondrous innovation for forward-thinking schools that know the value of facilitating floor time-better/more movement for kids which translates into less monotony, less restlessness, and ultimately a more interactive learning experience.

Baccelli also offers machine-washable covers and a large range of fabric styles and colors from the company's Play+ Range. For additional information, contact feelgooddesigns.
