This cute button of an object is a stool. While it looks solid, it is made of soft foam and gives way under a sitter’s weight. Pietro Derossi, Giorgio Ceretti and Riccardo Rosso’s designs loved to make viewers question the intended use of their objects. That sense of innovation and surprise emanates from this simple design.
