How cute is this photo of my niece on her red beanbag? Little bubs aren’t supposed to sit in beanbags but I just had to pop her into it for 5 seconds so that I could take a quick snap. It’s a bit fuzzy as I took it with my iphone. Cute! She’ll LOVE snuggling into it when she’s older.
This is one of the favourites! It is made of amazingly soft leather, which has a very rustic and scarred look. It is honestly the softest and most comfortable leather beanbag I’ve ever made. This one has been made for my friends Willie and Jo. Another Woodland Beanbag is currently on show at the cool new store ‘Elephant’ in Sorrento, Victoria. It is located next to Herman Store at 1 George Street, Sorrento. The girls at ‘Elephant’ stock a small but awesome range of vintage furniture and cool bits and pieces.
Please contact me by email if you would like a small sample of this leather mailed to you.
I had my leather label made up locally in Seaford, Victoria.
My good friend Anthony at Design Post very kindly waved his magic Photoshop wand and floated some of my beanbags into space (pictured).
I’m currently in Sydney and am on a mission to find a great online store for selling my beanbags. I’ve found quite a few that are based in Melbourne and Sydney.
Here are a few that I’ve found:
Enjoy!
Here are some snaps of beanbags I have recently made. They are all being posted to Perth! The photos have given them a shine – the leather actually has more of a matte finish. You can see the texture of the leather in the last image.
It’s February already and I’ve been trying to make the most of those leftover Summer holiday creative ‘juices’ that seem to thrive during the blissful, relaxing Summer holiday season. Ours involved spending time in Perth, Rottnest Island and Yallingup, W.A. We didn’t do much more than focus on quality family time, meaning eating, drinking quality West Australian wine, beaching, swimming, reading and sleeping – and the occasional walk or jog here and there! We had a magnificent lunch at Vasse Felix Winery and Restaurant to celebrate my Mum’s birthday.
As a result of doing nothing, I got busy with designing a pouffe or footrest. Rather than trying to copy a Morrocan Pouffe (I figure the Morrocans do them pretty well!), I designed my own pouffe, which I call a ‘Dumpling’. The Dumpling is a mini version of the Nelson & Rose leather beanbag. It has four side panels and two bottom panels connected by a zip. It’s a mini foot beanbag! Made using beautiful, soft leather, the Dumpling is a perfect sized footrest. It works really well with the Nelson & Rose Leather Beanbag and is also great to rest your feet on when you are sitting on the sofa. This one is filled with polystyrene beans like a beanbag but you can use whatever you like – old clothes and material work well too.
The Dumpling can be made up using the same leather that is used for Nelson & Rose Leather Beanbags, as well as other types of leather such as the leather used for the Dumpling pictured. As with my Leather Beanbags, the Dumpling is made by me, at home and will be made to order.
I’m excited about the Dumpling and can’t wait to get it out there!
Check out the gorgeous brown leather beanbag in the bottom left hand corner of this snap (pictured). I’ve recently purchased some leather buffalo hide exactly like the leather used here and plan to make a Nelson & Rose Leather Beanbag or footrest with it soon! It’s super soft and luxurious.
The rust-coloured footrest shown in the photo is also fantastic. I’ll be adding a leather footrest similar to the shape and size of this one to the Nelson & Rose range soon. I’m currently making up a pattern – I’m aiming for a size of 50 x 50 x 30cm2.
The beanbag is truly alive and well! Check out these beanbags from the new Sonia Rykiel Maison collection.
Nelson & Rose Leather beanbags are ready! They are made with the softest leather and are available in a variety of delicious colours. These beanbags are simple in style and big on comfort. Proudly Australian made, they are perfect for your home, beach house and for curling up on in front of the fire on those cold, wintry days.
