Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is a small animal child stool. A three-legged stool pouted its tail and became a lovely chair. With a simple and clever structure, it can be easily switched between two forms and assembled. It can be a child's chair or it can be turned into a child's stool. It is the child's small seat, but also accompany the child to play a "small animal". In addition, we gave the small stool incredible stability by making the legs of the stool open in an equilateral triangle and far beyond the surface of the stool.
- Inspiration
- Furniture used by children can be more playful and imaginative. On the basis of the completion of basic functions, the product can have some interesting interactions with children, which should be beneficial, such as company and imagination stimulation. I hope for children, the product is not just a product, it can be a fun playmate.
