The Sacco (aka bean bag chair) was designed by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro, three designers who had come to the Italian company Zanotta with the idea of creating furniture by deconstructing its form.

They noticed that workers would sit on bags of styrofoam while taking their breaks or smoking. After observing this, they came up with the idea of putting a nice shell around the loose bag of foam/pellets to create this new piece of furniture.

Designed: 1968
Materials: Polystyrene Pellets, Leather/Synthetic Leather/Fabric

The Sacco is a design that is in numerous museums around the world including the MOMA Design Collection
