About Fatboy:
In 1998, the Finnish designer Jukka Setälä designed a beanbag unlike any other. Fatboy is – as many people think – not named after the firm shape of the beanbag, but after the artist Fatboy Slim. Whom Jukka often listened to while designing.
The beanbag has become an unconventional design classic.
Although the Original beanbag is undeniably our biggest icon, Fatboy is clearly more than only a beanbag. Over the years, Fatboy has built a distinctive collection consisting of high-quality design icons, for both indoor and outdoor use. Fatboy always plays with the rules of design. Together with a network of top designers (from our own internal team to external designers), Fatboy works on new everyday classics. Each product has its own character.
Still, you immediately recognize them as Fatboy designs: unique, unconventional and inventive.
We would be very happy to discuss this opportunity with any candidate who feels able to bring experience, networks and contacts to the role which will help build the brand in the A&D contract market.
