Student property A study in practical bean bag style


beanbag
"When it comes to kitting out your fledgling student's first home, pause before you rush out to buy the cheapest furniture. While the property is in for a few years of serious wear and tear, there will come a time when either your student will want to turn it into an adult home, or you'll decide to sell or rent it. Cheap and nasty won't stand the test of time, and certainly won't give you good re-sale or rental value. And durable doesn't have to be dull, as my selection proves."

"Or have a look at the new generation of bean bags from The Ambient Lounge (0870 285 1619; www.ambientlounge.co.uk). They're stylish chairs rather than sloppy bags, available in six styles, in fabrics that range from waterproof to leather from £134. There is a matching (or contrasting) ottoman from £84."

Hot Stuff - Most Wanted Bean Bag


most wanted bean bag
Don’t think for a second that Ambient Lounge bean bags have anything in common with those you see on the side of the road. Those lumpy potato-shaped items are to the Ambient Lounge brand as plonk is to the finest Saxonburg Private Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2003. So there. Lets put it this way; do you think those dusty bean bags would grace chill out zones for the likes of Nivea, Red Bull, Nissan and Mini Cooper? Thought not, but we’re told the Ambient Lounge bean bags or to be more precise bean bag loungers have found comfortable homes there as well as at designer clubs, cafes and luxury apartments. So they wont look out of place in your pad will they? Certainly not here at ‘charged’, where out studio lounger sample (designer around the natural seated curve of your body) brought a certain air of elegance and class and dare I even say comfort and chicness (is there such a word? Ed)

There are a number of different shapes and styles in the range, from the simple Zen to the Conversion Lounger, which transforms from a bean chair into a full-body chaise or sun-lounger. They’re available in a wide range of fabrics for indoor and outdoor living. An astonishing 280 litres (or so our resident scientist tells us) of flame retardant polystyrene beads fill out the insides of these loungers, which as the Ambient Lounge website puts it “massages our butts” and “make the bean bags blissful”. So if you are up to playing games, watching DVD’s watching your favourite team take home the cup, or completely consumed in your latest edition of ‘charged’ (they said it not us) and your old armchair no longer does it for you, it could be time to pull up an Ambient Lounge bean bag.

Peter Sung Displays - Thank you for our banners and retail display materials


peter sung
Peter Sung is an entrepreneur and small business owner that not only produces great quality products and service, but is also a fantastic guy. We were so impressed by the stuff that his company did for us in the category
of bean bag retail displays, banners, photo frames, lightboxes etc. that we thought we better give him a good testimonial on our worldwide site. If
you're a business with such needs - especially in Australia - we don't think you would get a more competitive deal than from www.petersung.com. His team come with a creative design background which we found helps greatly.

You will soon see evidence of Pete's help with our retail displays in all our partner retail shops worldwide.

Beijing OLYMPIC GAMES Divide and Unite Ambient Lounge Distributors


Stephanie Rice
THE AMBIENT LOUNGE WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTORS are all giving each other some friendly banter and competition with each of their nation competing fiercely with each other in the Olympic Games in Beijing. Many of our offices are decked out with bean bags and widescreen LCD TV's, making it hard to concentrate on work with so many exciting competitions on.

Our Australian team are especially excited about the swimming, with Stephanie Rice already taking gold and Libby Trickett and Grant Hackett other famous names expected to do well.

We have a lot of competition from the Dutch, with our distributor in Amsterdam insisting that the sea of Orange will reign supreme in the pool and on the hockey field.

Our UK team already cheered home Nicole Cooke in the Woman’s road race but will be waiting on athletics for their best chance at more gold.

However, the biggest boasting will be done by our Chinese office, not only extremely proud of the wonderful cultural spectacle their nation is putting on for the world, but of their athletes who are dominating so many sports like gymnastics, diving, shooting and badminton. Well, having 1.3 billion people at your disposal sometimes has it’s advantages!
