Fresh from our New Season Collection: Top 5 Bean Bags, Sofas and Chairs to Elevate any Space

Form, Function, and a Lot Less Faff

When it comes to seating, we’ve all made the mistake of going heavy — literally. Oversized sofas. Bulky armchairs. Furniture that demands a forklift to rearrange.

But the truth is, lightweight seating doesn’t mean flimsy or forgettable. In fact, it can be the most stylish, flexible, and space-savvy choice for modern living. Whether you’re renting, redecorating, or just after that perfectly comfy corner, these pieces are designed to move with you and look good doing it.

Ready to upgrade your seating game? Here are 10 effortlessly stylish and lightweight solutions to elevate your home.

1. Modern Bean Bags with Curves That Count

Let’s start with the obvious. Bean bags have had a serious glow-up. The right design — think rich fabrics, structured silhouettes, and tonal hues — adds sculptural softness to any room. And because they’re light enough to move from living room to reading nook (or even outside for a sunny morning coffee), they’re as practical as they are pretty.
Styling Tip: icon's Cocoon Bean Bag in faux fur for a high-design, low-effort seating win.

2. Sculptural Pouffes & Footstools

Don’t underestimate the humble footstool pouffe. Compact, stylish and endlessly useful, it works as an extra seat for guests, footrest or side table. It's ideal for smaller spaces or living rooms. Choose one with an interesting texture or bold shape to give your space a modern edge.
Styling Tip: Pair it with a bean bag chair for a fully relaxed (but still chic) lounging zone.

3. Textured Scatter Cushions

Perfect for levelling up your lounging vibes, especially when stacked and layered in corners or beneath coffee tables.
Styling Tip: Look for soft woven fabrics and weaves, like our Kyoto fabric, subdued patterns, or velvet to dial up the tactile appeal.

4. Outdoor Bean Bags That Work Inside, Too

Why limit the comfort? Many of icon’s weather-resistant bean bags are stylish enough for indoor spaces and durable enough for gardens, balconies and patios. Which means more seating options, more often.
Especially ideal for open-plan living where the line between indoors and out gets a little blurred.

5. Bean Bag Loungers (AKA Nap Magnets)

Like a bean bag but stretched out. The ultimate in laid-back comfort, loungers are perfect for sunny corners, lazy Sundays or even creating a reading haven in the bedroom. Lightweight and roomy, they strike that ideal balance between sink-in squish and modern silhouette.

icon’s loungers are designed to hold their shape while adapting to yours, making them a crowd-favourite in both style and practicality.

Sit Light, Live Large

Whether you’re dealing with limited square footage, flexible routines, or just a need to keep things feeling fresh, lightweight seating is your space’s best friend. It lets you move, rearrange, and restyle with ease - no heavy lifting required.
And with modern bean bags, soft pouffes, and textured floor seating, you’re not sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.
Because at Icon, comfort is never an afterthought - it’s the whole point.
