Danish based Ambient Lounge Scandanavia successfully launched their foray into the Swedish Market at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. Ambient Lounge® bean bags proved a big hit with visitors from Finland, Sweden and Norway as sophisticated furniture retailers looked for designer alternatives to traditional products such as Fatboy bean bags. With Ambient Lounge products having a waterproof range of bean bags with functional shapes, the Swedish commercial sectors of hotels, schools, architects and builders of “summer houses” loved the prospect of bean bags being hard wearing but also stylish. Interestingly, Ambient Lounge Scandanavia may soon also have a world’s-first breakthrough for the commercial sector on a more hard wearing, higher density and environmentally friendly bean bag filling. Stay tuned. What this will mean is less sagginess for the bean bag and a better feeling, better performing product.

For all enquiries of designer bean bag supply to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Greenland, Iceland and Finland, please contact Ambient Lounge Scandanavia on www.ambientlounge.dk or call Lasse Jensen on + 45 535 52600

If only this could be what it's like the whole year! What better way to make lay while the sun shines than on an Ambient Lounge Elements waterproof loungers?

Copenhagen, February 2009

There is no city in the World buzzing with creativity and design like Copenhagen in Denmark. Voted the World’s most livable City in 2008, this place is ‘happening’ right now and is especially world renowned as a leading design culture for furniture and architecture. Clean lines, superb function and refreshing contemporary beauty make Danish furniture desired around the world and it’s residents are extremely proud of the appearance of their home interiors. The social appetite for home entertaining drives the local furniture market and Danish people tend to not clutter their homes, but rather purchase carefully selected, quality pieces to suit their function and lifestyle.

All this prompted local furniture distributor Lasse Jensen to identify Ambient Lounge® bean bag furniture as the perfect match for Danish tastes. Now the co-director of Ambient Lounge Scandinavia, Jensen has launched the products into distinguished retail stores and has received a great reaction from the industry and Danish public alike. “When we researched new brands to bring to the Scandanavian market in 2009, Ambient Lounge® was a standout. The products look and feel like Scandinavian-inspired furniture and the high quality fabrics are fantastic value for money. They are not big bean bag cushions like many companies offer; they have shape, form and boutique style and people really love them. We have them sitting proudly next to €5000 Euro sofas and they hold their own”.

Beginning with the Danish market, Ambient Lounge Scandinavia launched Denmark in January 2009, followed by Sweden, Finland and Norway in April 2009.

Retailers from any Scandinavian country can contact Lasse on lj@ambientlounge.dk and Danish customers can view the range on the new www.ambientlounge.dk website.

Fashionistas in Paris no longer have to smuggle our bean bag sofas back on the Eurostar with the launch of Ambient Lounge® France, imminent for early 2009.

Director Maxime Lesguillier is excited to announce the launch of a dedicated French online store www.ambientlounge.fr due to open in February 2009, followed by the soft retail launch of the designer bean bags in selected outlets across the country. “French people really appreciate sophisticated design, high quality and attention to detail" Lesguillier said "The Ambient Lounge Collection really fits the image of the French lifestyle and home landscape well."

If you have a penchant for beautiful interiors then choose from our lush and premium quality bead sofas in materials such as Hot Chocolate or Eco Weave. For more temperate environments like Nice, Cannes or Montpelier, the Elements weatherproof range may be the perfect way to lounge out in the sun, be “seen” and look cool all at the same time.

For all trade or customer enquiries please contact maxime@ambientlounge.fr

Recognised as global pioneers of the 'designer bean bag', the team at Ambient Lounge® have combined the functionally & superior comfort of soft bead filling with premium fabrics and beautifully shaped forms that look and feel more like designer furniture, at a fraction of the cost.

"This year we have segregated our collection into beautiful Interiors fabrics for living room spaces and 'Elements' fabrics that are weatherproof and adaptable for either indoor or outdoor applications" says Melissa Neri, creative director of the Ambient Lounge design team. "It's exciting to have such a diverse collection of fabrics for customers to choose from in this growing category. Plus look out for our patented innovation surprise - the Funnelweb® - which is going to be a long-term functional revolution in this retailing and care of bean filled furniture".

Success isn't an overnight thing for this group, with its founding members first designing such curvaceous bean bags as early as 1998. Learning the hard lessons, treading the minefield of bulk production they have become experienced, world leaders in every aspect of their niche category. "The term Bean bags is a banned description around here" says one staff member "we're soft furniture, not beanbags!".

The Ambient Lounge concept was borne out of a chance meeting of British, European and Antipodean designers ... and is now distributed throughout the globe to such culturally markets places as Saudi Arabia, Korea, China, Germany and South Africa. "It's really nice to see our hard work and dedication rewarded by fellow designers and progressive distribution channels worldwide..." Neri says wide-eyed. "This year is just the tip of the iceberg too, stay tuned to see what we do in the coming 18 months. We aim to further bridge the gap between bean bags and mainstream designer furniture for the young professionals and fashion conscious. "

Neri believes that having a young and diverse team from interior design, fashion design, graphic design and architectural backgrounds has helped the team stay on top of trends, colours and keep a good grounding with functional practicality. "Is it too much to ask for global domination?" she asks with a wry smile

With the passion, drive and focus shown by this group of people, they may well have it in the bag.

"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."
