Don't ask what the
world needs.
Ask what makes you
come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

- H. Thurman

Clean lines and warmth

I absolutely love clean lines in a home, but far too often that comes at the expense of warmth in the home. Here is a great example that you really can have it all. It just requires a little bit of creativity and voila! Even in a hallway and staircase, beauty can be found.

fatboy®

ooooooooooh I want them all!!!

OR at the very least 2 of everything!!

total comfort for me!!

fatboy® original

Our iconic Fatboy® the original is everyone's friend. It proved to stand out and fit in anywhere, without acting like its some better version of itself (like all the original fakes out there). With its generous size and energizing comfort it is always there to maximize whatever pleasure you choose. Fatboy® the original is truly yours!

Size: 55" x 70"

fatboy® headdemock

Fatboy® Headdemock will make you feel like you have so much nothing to do. Whether you’re sipping cocktails in the sunny shade or secretly being watched by your neighbours, it just makes you float like a feather. You can even share it with someone else and imagine two palm trees where there is actually a sturdy Fatboy® support frame, while you're busy not worrying about a thing. Fatboy® Headdemock is worrilessly yours!
