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.
