Now you can enjoy the best of two worlds with the Coffee Fellow chair. Although traditional [bean bag chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillowsac-chair-jr) are known for being playful, quirky and very comfy furniture pieces, now you can enjoy all of that in a more [sophisticated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-chair-collection) way.

Designed by Johanna Hansson, the Coffee Fellow bean bag chair is actually made out of [recycled coffee bean sacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bultan-chair). Stylishly rustic, it even still has the original branding marks on it. Not only that, but it would fit better into grown-up living rooms than children's dens.
