designed by piero gatti, cesare paolini & franco teodoro in 1968.
the sacco was the first mass production 'beanbag' chair - filled with highly resistant expanded polystyrene pellets. the sacco is still in production by zanotta and, unlike the many imitators, is still a quality product produced in a number of colorful fabrics & leather. an interesting feature of the sacco often overlooked by imitators is a functional 'headrest' area, where dislodged pellets congregate to support the head when the chair is occupied. an icon of twentieth century design.
replacement spare covers are also available in case of accidental damage to originals or order different colors and fabrics for variety or occasional change in decor.
