Polyethylene
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.
