Animal
Animal is a convertible seat designed for children. The design takes the form of a small animal, with three legs and a tail that also serves as a backrest. A simple structure allows Animal to be switched between two forms, so the seat can be used as a child's chair or as a backless seat. The three legs are arranged in an equilateral triangle and extend beyond the edge of the seat surface, which gives the piece a high level of stability. Animal is made of plastic by blow molding. The seat is intended to act as a playmate and to encourage imagination.
