Richard Hutten, "Poef" Stool, 1994 Beech, soft foam coated with soft polyurethane Droog Design collection, manufactured by DMD, 15 3/4 x 19 3/4 x 19 3/4" (40 x 50 x 50 cm). Made using the same technique as the "Crossing Italy" couch, this small stool looks like a solid table but is in reality soft. The foam of the cushions is coated with a glossy polyurethane layer that recalls some of the furniture experiments of the sixties and seventies. The finish enhances the simple cubic shape of the foam cushion.
