The best and most productive office spaces are the ones that people actually want to spend time in. Bean bags have become a staple of creative studios, tech offices, waiting rooms and breakout areas for exactly that reason. They’re comfortable, easy to move and great to look at. Whether you’re looking for a comfy office chair alternative, seating for an office space or inviting chairs for a reception space.
A comfy office chair that’s actually comfortable.
Standard office chairs do a job, but they’re not exactly somewhere you want to spend your break. Our highbacks and armchairs make brilliant ergonomic office chairs, a perfect alternative for informal meeting areas and breakout spaces, supportive enough for longer sits and easy to wipe clean after daily use.
Office reception chairs that make an impression.
First impressions matter. Our velvet sofa and velvet armchair bring a considered, chic feel to waiting rooms and office reception areas that want to feel welcoming rather than clinical. Large enough to comfortably seat multiple people, they look like proper furniture rather than just bean bags, which is exactly the point. A brilliant alternative to a standard office reception chair that actually gets people talking.
The office rest area sorted.
Every office needs a proper rest area, somewhere people can genuinely switch off between tasks. Our bean bags are made for exactly that. Whether it's a quiet corner with a cord highback and a matching square or round footstool or a larger breakout space with a velvet sofa and a few classics, creating an office rest area that people actually use starts with seating they actually want to sit in.
Flexible and easy to move.
One huge advantage of opting for bean bag furniture is the portability of bean bag chairs, sofas, square and round footstools and accessories. Everything is light and easy to move, making rearranging a quick job. Move between rooms and seating configurations, far more flexible than fixed seating. Our water-resistant bean bag styles are particularly perfect in offices with outdoor terraces or garden areas.
