When furniture can become toys, that's when you'll have a much easier time keeping kids happy. The Owl Chair by h220430 is a functional object and it allows its little user to play around with its structure.
It might look like it's made of foam but this innovative material is EVA lumber. Bendable and durable, the single piece of soft stuff forms the entire tiny seat. The sustainable and child-safe substance has been stamped out with snags and slots so that the simple act of folding and fixing it can make a supportive seat from a thick flatpacked sheet.
The beauty of the Owl Chair by h220430 is in its adaptability, its space-saving characteristics and the inspiration it evokes in kids to exercise logic and imagination in assembling it.
