The
Fatboy concept was born when Jukka Setälä, a designer from Golla (Finland), was listening to the music of Fatboy Slim while designing a 21st-century take on the beanbag. The resulting design caught the attention of Dutchman Alex Bergman, who saw a big future in Setälä’s quirky, oversized beanbags and started the
Fatboy brand.
Since launching on the Dutch market in 2002, the company has grown steadily and now sells in over 50 countries. The
Fatboy range has also expanded to include other fun and unconventional products such as hammocks (
headdemock) and
outdoor lights. The brand has also teamed up with
Marimekko to create a range of designer indoor and outdoor products.
