Material Foam and fabric
Year 2009

What is the simplest way to upholster a piece of furniture? A block of foam is wrapped in fabric in the same way one wraps a gift, the fabric acting like paper, the object becoming a present. Sometimes the form of a package carries more presence than its contents, and here the wrapping is the design.

The parcels are soft and modular, stackable and reconfigurable into different seating arrangements. When loaded onto a trolley they come together to form an easy chair. The inside can be whatever you wish it to be.
