This project is a duality reflexion about of what we are doing when we are alone and what we are doing when we have guest at home. This is the main theme I am focusing on with the design of the project.
Personally, when I am alone I like to crochet, but I always have to deal with knots and ideally, there would be a support for my ball of wool. However when I have guest, I’m always missing of seats.

This project of stool is the answer to the two problems mentioned above. When creating the design, it was important to think about how it can change its functions easily. In general, when we have unannounced guests, we would like to quickly and easily reorganise the living room. That’s why to transform the stool’s fonction you simply use a finger to lift the top part of the stool and turn it over.

3 supports, 3 wool’s balls, 3 legs… Why 3 everywhere?

The stool is designed to be placed in the room with most life in your home – typically the living room. By working with wool and the recurring motif of the number 3, I tried to create an analogy with the three Fates from the Greek Mythology, who are threading the human lives.

The name in French “Pelotes moi le Tabouret” is a funny wordplay, where the word for ball of wool (i.e. pelotes), can also mean to grope. Therefore, the complete sentence means “Touch my Stool”.

This project was reasserted in collaboration with the grafic designer’s Aude-Marie Renaud.
