4 Sessions Designer One-Piece Bean Bag Workshop | Designer Construction

This workshop explores one-piece bag construction, a designer-level approach that prioritizes silhouette, proportion, and structural intelligence over decoration.

Inspired by minimalist contemporary design, this bag is developed with an original pattern, re-engineered hardware decisions, and professional studio techniques.
The goal is not DIY but learning how designers think through form and construction.

By the end of the course, each student will complete and take home a finished designer bean bag.

• One-piece construction logic used in designer studios
• How structure and silhouette are built through pattern geometry
• Industrial sewing techniques for soft-structured bags
• Hardware integration and design decision-making
