The Snug by Kumeko, a Prague-based studio founded by Sasha Fefelova, taps into a child's mentality. It is a unique beanbag-like seating that provides a comfy safe haven for those looking to escape the world for a short time. Like children snuggling into small corners of the house, this seat allows adults to secret away in a fun and creative manner.
With its soft inner cushion and cozy shell, the Snug by Kumeko looks like a modern sack. Instead of being fashioned out of canvas, however, it is made out of jersey tubes stuffed with polyurethane foam and 100% wool felt. The Snug by Kumeko also has an integrated belt on the top of the sleeve to allow users to adjust it to their own specifications.
