Our designers went to work. One of them, Marta Kuprińska, was guided by intuition. What she saw? Colours. “I wanted to be bold. For the lounge chair, I was even a bit of a rebel. As a grey prototype arrived from the factory, I secretly put on a bright blue cover and placed it in our design department. As people saw it, they felt yes, let’s do this!” “But if you’re not into blue, it’s available in dark grey too”, Marta adds, laughing.
Game on! The cylinder-shaped BRÄNNBOLL bolster is filled with recycled polyester that gives you soft, comfortable support when you play – and when it needs a refresh, you can machine wash the cover.

Product details
You can use this cylinder-shaped bolster in several ways. As support for the head, lower back, for an arm or for your knees – on the bed, the floor, the sofa or when sitting in the gaming chair.
The recycled polyester filling keeps its shape and gives you soft support when you play.
The washable cushion cover is easy to remove since it has a zipper.

Story
Ready for gaming – and everything else
Today, gaming takes place whenever, on different platforms, alone or together, and in different places of the home. With BRÄNNBOLL, we wanted to create a collection of furniture and accessories for this way of gaming – with a homey feel.
Philip Dilé, who works with product development, was part of investigating gamers’ new needs. His takeaway: these products must perform well for gaming and add to the experience, but they should also blend in nicely into the home when not used for gaming. Especially when gamers and non-gamers live together and there’s a lack of space. “That’s why the possibility to change activities easily is so important! It’s about two things, design and function,” says Philip. “Flexible, movable pieces are crucial, and looks too.”
Gaming doesn’t have to be all black
Just enough features
The BRÄNNBOLL collection is meant to do different things in the home. But it’s not about stuffing products with features. The trick is to find a balance. “Like the lounge chair, again. Use it as a normal armchair or lean back comfortably for a long gaming session. And with the castors it’s easy to rearrange your space when needed,” says Marta. You don’t have to be a gamer to use and love these products. Exactly who will use them, or exactly how – we don’t really know. “And that’s the beauty! I love it when people use our products in unexpected ways.”

“I hope that you will love BRÄNNBOLL bolster. A simple solution that gives you support where you need it most to win the match. Just as comfortable for the lumbar region and elbows as for the neck and knees during long gaming sessions. And guess what? The cover can be removed and machine washed. An extra-good thing considering that a lot can happen in the heat of the match. I’m sure of it!"
