# Bean Bag Corporate Chair Marie-Louise Gustafsson's Chair for Slackers By David Boyar | Published 2007-01-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slacker-chair-bean-bag-corporate-chair-from-marie-louise-gustafsson References: [marielouise.se](http://www.marielouise.se/projects.html) For the CEO who likes to keep it informal comes this [great design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calma-lounge-by-layer) that gives you the height and stature of a [standard office chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elle-dcor) and the comfort of an [imitation leather bean bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rio-pouffe). Oh not to mention the tremendous level of cool that your staff will associate you with. *Note I do not recommend this chair for hard lined Chartered Accounting firms. But for your average trend hunter with some back ache and a desire for hot chocolate or a cool beer......... It only in design phase at the moment but if enough of you go to Marie-Louise's website I'm sure we'll be able to work things out. PS check out her table of trash too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Informal Office Furniture:** Opportunity to design and market office furniture that blends style, comfort, and informality. - **Non-traditional Design Elements:** Innovation opportunity to incorporate non-traditional design elements into conventional office furniture, such as bean bag chairs. - **Employee Experience:** Creating comfortable, stylish, and relaxed work environments can contribute positively to employee well-being, productivity, and creativity. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Design and Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture companies to enter the market with unique and unconventional designs to appeal to a new generation of office workers. - **Office Supplies and Equipment:** Innovation opportunity to develop new product categories under the office supplies and equipment vertical, catering to unique office preferences and styles. - **Human Resources and Recruitment:** Opportunity to create company culture and office environment strategies that prioritize employee well-being and create a positive work experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Position Beanbag Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-chair.md) - [Sustainable Ergonomic Corporate Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summa-x-maribo.md) - [Structural Beanbag Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brace-lounge.md) - [Humorous Macabre Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-office-chair.md) - [Relaxed Anti-Distraction Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortune-chair.md) - [Future-Facing Tech Brand Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-chair.md) - [Stylish Ergonomic Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-ergonomic-office-chair.md) - [Sophisticated Organic Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asari-chair.md) - [Ergonomic Inflated Reclined Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-faurebrac.md)
