portable pot – 大作社

for Milan Design Week

Nichetto:
A stool that’s easy to pick up and carry about, thanks to its round form and ‘handle’ like a pot handle.

Nendo:
Handles on both sides of a pot need to be picked up with two hands, whereas the handle at the centre of a pot lid allows single-handed use. But a handle at the centre of the seat would make it difficult to sit down, so we created a mechanism for the handle to rise up and down, like the grip on an old-fashioned valise.

We carved the stool out of cork, which is relatively lightweight but strong, and chose a size that can function as a side table as well. As a result, we produced a stool that’s simple but features a novel mechanism.

由于其圆形形状和像手柄一样的“手柄”，便于携带和携带的凳子。

锅的两侧的把手需要用两只手拿起，而锅盖中心的把手允许单手使用。但是座椅中央的把手会让人难以坐下，所以我们创造了一种手柄上下起伏的机制，就像握在老式手提箱上一样。

我们用软木塞雕刻了凳子，这种材料相对轻便但结实，并且选择了一个可以作为边桌使用的尺寸。结果，我们生产了一种简单但具有新颖机制的凳子。
