This reversible stool, offers a soft side for seating and a flat side that invites to be used as a small table or a platter. Its different part were the opportunity to work with linen in its different shapes : velvet or quilted weavings for the softness and new apparencies, flat graphical weavings, waterproof. But also solid : the leftovers from the weaving, cutted in small pieces and mixed with epoxy resine, were moulded to shape the part hosting the seat/platter.
Specifically thaught for the terrasse or the garden space: the stool is nomade, easily stored and can adapte to different activities. The modularity adds to the ethical aspect of the object: not far from a «zero waste» textile conception, a modular system allowing to change, clean and fix up the parts if damaged.
