The story of TUBE have started when Remigijus Balciunas, CEO of Lithuanian brand Pusku pusku was visiting a design fair in Stockholm and met Francesco Costacurta there. Francesco – Italian product designer from freelance designer group called “Why Not”, based in Milan area.

Remigijus and Francesco developed a conversation about their professional lives. Furthermore, they have noticed that most of the bean bags have a shape that is not very defined and designed, due to soft materials. Also, most of the bean bags are one-colored because the fabric pieces are sewed in a way that does not permit an elegant combination of different colors or fabric textures. Thus, they decided to work together.
For this project Francesco Costacurta collaborated with Juste Pavasaryte, who is a Lithuanian product designer born in Kaunas, currently working in Italy.

They had a goal to create a shape of the bean bag that is well defined and controlled. They wanted to find the element that would make the product recognizable and unique, but pleasant and neutral at the same time.
