Can the seats also be functional for the optimization and organization of the spaces in a house? Yes, of course. They can become a containment element if the space under the seat is closed and its interior is used. Hence the concept of Salt and Pepper: two poufs that, as well as functional, are interesting for the reuse of their materials, which have received a new life. The bases of the seats are in fact two cans of sterilized paint then externally powder coated in black and white. The handles of the cans are also mantained, for a more convenient transport of the elements inside the house. The seat instead, soft and comfortable, is made of a multilayer padded with eco-leather and worked with capitonnée buttons. In this case, elements that can be intended for a target of any age have been specifically customized for children and for be used in their bedroom or in the living area. For this reason, a graphic design has been given to the cans: two funny faces, one with curly hair and one with straight ones and two words “salt” and “pepper” that can be combined with their chromatic characteristics, have been designed, laser cut on adhesive and then applied over the entire width. Also combinable in the dining area with the nice Omelette table, they can be the right “condiment”.
