About this artwork
"When I was asked to create a first aid kit for such a noble cause, I thought of many ideas which ultimately relied on three main objectives:
-functionality
-versatility
-simplicity
SOS pouf is a versatile piece of furniture made with natural French oak wood that can tie your room together effortlessly.
It can function as a chair, footrest and a tabletop, but the particularity of SOS pouf is what’s hidden inside, by removing the top you can have access to a compartmented red platter in 5mm MDF wood that contains the first aid supplies.
The wheels give it the flexibility to move it around and easy accessibility.
The seat is upholstered with a layer of Dunlop foam and feathers to give a smooth and comfortable feel, covered with a fabric made of linen and cotton fibers.
The embroidery that represents the Red Cross was meticulously handled by Maison Basil Soda.
SOS pouf is the easiest way to save your loved ones"
