Fatboy is huge here in Holland (no pun intended). I saw it pretty much everywhere, but I was never impressed with the apparent bulkiness and lack of elegance of it. And it seems like a real space hoarder. I just changed my mind.
We took Peanut to the beach on Sunday. Our favourite beach is the coastal village of Wijk aan Zee. The beach is family friendly, not overly commercialised, yet close enough to the village center that it's convenient. There, we saw they set up a Strandbibliotheek (Beach Library) next to one of the cafe. Book loans are completely free, and they scattered several Fatboys on the sand for people to relax and read on. We tried one of them, and boy, it was comfy! I never thought I could fall in love with a huge bean bag in such an instance. Peanut loved it too, she rolled around and hopped on it, laughing heartily.
I have to get one for Peanut's nursery!
The Fatboy original is 140 x 180 cm. It takes quite some space. They also have Fatboy Junior, which is 100 x 130 cm. A decent size for Peanut's future reading corner since you can also put it upright, so it doesn't really cover the full extent of its horizontal dimension. It's definitely something she can grow on past her toddler years.
Fatboy Original is €169, while the Junior sells for €119. They also launched the new Fatboy Marimekko for €249 each, in original size only.
