Toulouse: graffiti artists create a collection of giant cushions
Three graffiti artists from Toulouse, Soone, Der and Apache have teamed up with Jumbo Bag, a French brand to create a collection of colorful XXL poufs.
Creating the most comfortable furniture in the world is the ambition of Pierre Corregi, the founder of Jumbo Bag. Specialized in indoor and outdoor furniture, the brand offers to combine style with comfort for a signature collection, inspired by street art. To achieve this, the 37-year-old Toulouse designer is joining forces for the first time with three local graffiti artists. Soone, Der and Apache will bring their colorful worlds to dress up the Jumbo Bag collection.
Giant poufs, cushions and an ergonomic seating ball
Covered in velvet and filled with polystyrene balls, the pouf is adjustable in several positions while adapting to each morphology. In total, the signature collection offers three products specialized in interior furniture. Each artist dresses the products with a pattern imbued with their artistic DNA.

He therefore spontaneously thought of Julien Soone, a graffiti artist from Toulouse. “I like his fresh designs with Japanese motifs,” says Pierre about his new partner’s creations. The two men met during the inauguration of the Nine club, a nightclub in Toulouse for which Julien designed the logo. It is in the middle of the colored bombs with various creations in the graffiti artist’s workshop in Montaudran that the products are photographed for their sale on Monday on the site. “We want to be innovative on the market by developing original ideas for furniture,” emphasizes Pierre Corregi.
These collaborations with local artists will surely give birth to many others to enrich the universe of Jumbo Bag. Today, the path of Pierre and Julien Soone is rejoicing since the French brand wants to develop its production in Toulouse.
