Japan-based company Takikou Sewing introduces its new wearable bean bag design that is essentially a cushioned dress that has cutout details by the sleeves and collar. This cozy design morphs along with the wearers' movements and even molds an armrest for dynamic comfort.
The designers explain that the bean bag is designed with the concept of a dream cushion that is so comfortable that it is "ruinous" which means that it causes one to never want to move again. The wearable bean bag comes in three sizes made for adults and kids. Additionally, it can also be used as a regular bean bag when not worn. The adult iteration weighs approximately 11 pounds and easily anchors itself to the floor.
