· What?
Inspired by the iconic gym ball, Bloon is the ally of a free, healthy, and design-oriented lifestyle. Serving alternately as an office seat, an extra pouf, or a dining chair, Bloon embodies a lifestyle that promotes awareness and individuality. It challenges the pitfalls of harmful seating. Daily use improves both physical and psychological well-being through dynamic seating.
· With whom?
Developed by Bloon, a startup advocating comfort and well-being, with support from osteopath Kevin Rayess. Handmade in Portugal in a small specialized workshop using high-quality materials.
· How?
Bloon is designed to express a unique identity. Conceived by Studio De Lussac, its design features a strap that serves as both a handle and an aesthetic accent. The strap is interchangeable, allowing adaptation to any interior. Double topstitching and saddle-style seams enhance product quality. Nomadic and practical, Bloon deflates in 1 minute for easy transport to new adventures.
· Designer’s note:
“‘Sitting is the new smoking,’ as they say in Silicon Valley. Each day, we sit for twelve hours, causing numerous negative effects: reduced muscle tone, poor circulation, back problems, joint pain, etc. Bloon is an effective alternative to traditional seating. By promoting the natural curve of the spine, it strengthens postural muscles (abdominals and lower back) and the spine itself. Throughout the day, Bloon engages core muscles, improving strength and overall muscle tone.”
