Now here is something different to put your feet up on.
Created by Designers Yvonne Fehling and Jennie Peiz who live and work in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2006, they founded their design studio and the brand “Kraud”. There designs are a welcome change in an unexpected direction.
To me there work perfectly balances quirky design with poetic symmetry and style. Need to put your feet up – why not on one of these. You can play around with its placement never having it sitting the same way
The poof cleverly named Still lives it is designed as an object for domestic space and I think it is adorable. Coming in flesh tones it blends in with contemporary styling with its upholstered traditional diamond quilting in leather and standing in front of us in a natural fashion.
A little bit of sculpture, luxury and toy all in one

“Stuhlhockerbank” is a series of seating for public spaces that approach users and viewers in an extraordinary way. The dividing lines between different types of furniture (chair, stool, bench) are eliminated as the three types blend. The results are immobile constellations that express a person’s inner stance in the particular situation.

Although the benches were designed for large spaces like a gallery or atrium I can see the smaller 2 seater fitting into a modern home with other contemporary furniture.
“For this furniture, human habits and the world in which we live played as strong a role as did discovering the hidden potential of customary everyday objects. Over and above the pure purposefulness of a piece of furniture, the objects come with narrative elements. They seem familiar and yet at the same time surprising, enhanced by a sensual and poetic dimension.”
