Design Ben van Berkel / UNstudio, 2020
Poluethylene
Made by Alessi
"I have always enjoyed the playfulness of how children perceive and explore the world around them; how the scope of their imagination allows them to think beyond rational boundaries, and how this liberation from logic enables the most creative and wonderfully irrational ideas and perceptions. This is often coupled with intense curiosity, as they try to understand where their imagination ends and 'the world of the adult' begins."
-Ben van Berkel
Doraff is a new type of playful furniture that combines the shapes of a dog and a giraffe into a versatile, multifunctional object for children.
Doraff is a seat, but also a furnishing element. It lends itself to several uses, inviting children to use their playful imagination. Positioned to resemble the abstract figure of a giraffe, it offers a comfortable, high backrest. In the other position, it resembles the stylized shape of a dog on which the child can sit and play.
26.5" L | 21.75" w | 11" h
$250.00 + shipping in the continental U.S.
(in-stock items usually ship in 1-2 business days. Otherwise, please allow approximately 3 weeks for delivery)

Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi to produce crafted metal products for eating and drinking. In 1935, Carlo Alessi, son of Giovanni, was named chief designer. In 1945, he ascended to chief executive and designed the coffee service Bombe, an industrial piece manufactured in four sizes. That same year Carlo's younger brother, Ettore Alessi, joined the company as a technician. By the 1980s, Alberto Alessi took over the management of Alessi and launched the Alessi company into the design decade through collaborations with designers such as Philippe Starck and his playful three-legged Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
