SOS Stool for Casamania
April 21, 2011
Josh Owen
The SOS stool blurs typological boundaries that define the acts of sitting, holding, and carrying by offering connections between these conditions and the environments within which they commonly exist. The two elements attached to the seat can be used as cup or wine-glass holders, handles or hooks. The top surface features a rim and therefore the possibility to be used as a tray. Made from rotationally molded, recycled polyethylene. SOS is included in the permanent design collections of Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris, France, the Philadelphia Museum of Art in USA and Musee des beaux-arts de Montreal, Canada. Designed for Italian manufacturer Casamania by Frezza.
