Lovesac Santa Clara

Lovesac is a designed-for-life furniture company that’s shaking up the industry with two signature product lines: Sacs, giant cloudlike seats, and Sactionals, an entirely new take on the sectional sofa that provides unlimited design and configuration possibilities. Both products are designed to adapt and evolve over the course of their owner’s life: to always fit, be forever new, and provide total comfort. Sactionals and Sacs share the ingenuity that has made Lovesac famous since 1995: removable covers made from durable, (mostly) machine-washable fabrics that ensure a lifetime of use, and innovations that let them go where no other couches and beanbags can.

In 1995, Lovesac Founder Sean Nelson was sitting on his parents’ couch watching TV when he thought it would be funny to create the world’s biggest beanbag. Right then, he got up off the couch, went to the fabric store, and began work making the very first Lovesac. Fast-forward to 2018, Lovesac has over 60 company-owned stores nationwide and continues to grow at a rapid rate.
