An inflatable, designer seat? It was probably this somewhat "mission impossible" aspect that initially attracted me.
In my profession, the challenge is a driving force for creativity before being a source of constraint and I liked the idea of returning to the fundamentals of design: reinforcing the practicality, the usefulness of an object, while enhancing it and giving it style.
Behind the astonishing simplicity of this ball seat, it is ultimately all the little details that make the difference, like the belt for example.
The idea came to us while looking for a way to hide the main seam of the cover and ultimately, it also became the Bloon's trademark. Not only did it make it easier to transport, but it also brought a chic saddle look and that sums up the essence of the Bloon: ergonomics, practicality and aesthetics.
Currently, we are thinking about developing the range to offer new accessories, always in this spirit of giving elegance to comfort and well-being, and I must say that I can't wait to have them in the office too, because since I've been working on a Bloon, my back hurts much less.
And that too, in a way, is an additional motivation to work on the project because I myself experience the benefits!
