This prototype of an armchair looks like stone, but is actually cut from a block of polyether foam: a light and flexible material that is also often used as mattress filling.
The piece is designed by Carolin Gieszner and Théo Demans, together known as touche–touche. In their work they create tactile illusions such as melting stones and soft rock formations, which often seem to defy gravity.
