BUT WHERE HAVE THE INVENTORS GONE? LORENZO DAMIANI |

Lorenzo Damiani / Airpouf / 2005 / by CAMPEGGI |
Vacuum cleaner housed in a polyurethane pouf with a removable fabric cover. The pouf is equipped with three holes, one to insert the suction tube, one to hold the on/off switch and a third to serve as an air vent. When it is used as a seat the holes are filled with colored balls, and when in use as a vacuum cleaner the ball covering the vent rises into the air; 56 x 56 x h 51 cm. «Airpouf» proposes a reflection on the storage of objects used on a daily basis, but that cannot be left «in sight». The hybridization between two types of article as distant as an electric appliance and a padded seat is made more intriguing by the «levitation» of a colored ball by the air expelled. «Airpouf» was presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2005. |
