The chair is designed by Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro, is a shaped leather or fabric bag, three quarters filled with thousands of polystyrene ‘beans’, the ‘ sacco’ was relatively cheap, easily portable and, in the spirit of the 1969s, eminently suitable for being ‘laid back’ on. So successful was the design that a multitude of versions covered in fabric or vinyl- the familiar beanbag- have been in production ever since.
The chair is height is 930mm, width 750mm and depth 700mm. A large pear-shaped bean bag chair filled with polystyrene balls, covered in purple ‘telafitta’ fabric (50% cotton, 50% nylon) with a metal zip fastener on the base. All seams are machine stitched.
Of all the novel chairs designed in the 1960s, the beanbag was the most popular and certainly the most copied. It also best symbolises the daring showing by designers seeking inventive solutions to the needs of a rapidly changing world.
Tthe concpet of this poster is transform the artefact into an abstract symbol through graphic method. I drew the outline of the beanbag and adjusted the angle of different angle to make the whole shape looks rounded and smooth.
The ‘sacco’ beanbag symbolizes the daring showing by designers seeking inventive solutions to the needs. So, the poster is also boldly use silhouettes to represent the selected objects and place them on the poster. Through the combination of assorted colours, the whole poster looks more playful and relaxed, just like the chair itself.
I also put the title around the shape of the beanbag to make the whole poster look richer. At the bottom are the basic introductions to this artefact.
