Hi I am visiting New Zealand and am looking for an outdoor beanbag
that I understand is made here that I saw in the States.  I think it
is called the Marine Bean (?) but I cannot remember the name of the
company that makes it.  Can you help?

The Marine Bean outdoor beanbag is made by a New Zealand company
called Coast International.

Here's a bit of info on the beanbag:

"Comfortable, durable and stylish, the Marine BeanŽ is the perfect
accessory for yachts and launches of all sizes. With its SunbrellaŽ
marine canvas shell, the Marine Bean is a cosy nest on a breezy
offshore passage, or a luxurious sun-lounger for the foredeck or
beach.

The Marine BeanŽ features a polyester lining, allowing you to remove
the shell for cleaning.The Marine BeanŽ is available in a variety of
colours, in each case with contrasting piping."
