“This concept was born out of the idea of a cushion that would allow you to totally let go, any time, anywhere. You can put this on and chill out in your living room, or loads of other places, that’s why we created it,” said a representative from the company.

Although the beanbag was introduced to the market earlier in 2023, it remained under the radar until a recent tweet went viral. The beanbag has since been featured on Japanese TV programs.

It is available in three sizes and four colors – moss green, natural beige, mocha and charcoal gray. It can be purchased at the Hanalolo store at technology conglomerate Rakuten from 7,800yen (S$79) to 15,800 yen.
