A couple days ago I was at the Dr. Marten press event and I was introduced to Irving who is the owner of the infamous NEON stores in Montreal. He was one of the original accounts to carry Dr. Martens in Canada and it was a great pleasure talking with him.
We started speaking about Bean Bags and he told me how they are making a huge comeback, he encouraged me to go down to one of his stores and pick one out and he would have it shipped to me. I went down to the store on Mont-Royal street and I was greeted by some amazing staff that knew exactly who I was and they were expecting me. I immediately picked out the camouflage bean bag with no hesitation. It is super dope! (This will be my new COD base) He had hundreds of options but the camo was the one for me!
At 8:47 am this morning Irving himself delivered me the camo bean bag! I was very excited… It is really dope!
You can find these bags at his Neon Stores. (the St-Denis location has a bigger selection)
Tell them Marcus Troy sent you, I am sure they will take care of you!
Thanks Irving.
Bean bag chairs are a popular form of furniture made of fabric and filled with small chunks of styrofoam or PVC pellets. They were hugely popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their popularity resumed in the mid 1990s, as companies began selling chairs filled with shredded polyurethane foam, charging a premium for the extra comfort this can provide.
It is also called expanded polystyrene or EPS in the industry. The diameter of the bead that goes into the bean bag does vary from about 3-9mm, however you can now also purchase micro-bead which is 1-3mm in diameter. After a couple of years use, the beans within a bean bag will become compressed and comfort will be reduced. One can generally obtain smaller bags of refill beans to top them up.
While popularity waned in the 1990s, in the second half of the first decade of the 2000s, bean bag made a small comeback with the advent of retro style.
Bean bag furniture generally takes the form of four basic designs being: (1) the teardrop; (2) the sack; (3) the armchair; and (4) the cylinder. Variants of the four basic designs exist, as well as bean bags which are designed to resemble other objects or animals.
