Apparently, a Fatboy is not (clue being the fact that the word starts with a capital letter!) a fat boy! But it is, among other things, a person – i.e., musician Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Quentin Cook); a motorcycle – i.e., Fatboy (“a V-Twin powered Softail series motorcycle produced by the Harley-Davidson Motor Company” in 1990); and our favorite – Fatboy furniture (“a whole family of joyful products from bags to different lounge chairs, made for relaxing and enjoying the comforts of life.”)
Designed by Jukka Setälä (photo: left), recipient of Receiver of Best New Furniture in Europe 2006 and Excellent Design by the Norwegian Design Council, and a teacher of furniture design at the University of Art and Design Helsinki since 1999, the Fatboy chair is: “perfect for all spaces, from kids’ rooms to offices. Even your dog will love it. This will be the bean bag you cannot wait to dive into when you get home. Made out of heavy duty nylon, this attention-grabber has been voted the best new piece of furniture in Europe and is a constant favorite at all kinds of events, from summer festivals to conventions and sports events.”
A favorite at “summer festivals to conventions and sports events?” Well, I don’t quite see that, do you? I mean, a little difficult to cart around wouldn’t you think? An SUV maybe, or a truck? So where do you put the kids? And the sports bags? And the cooler?
