of uses. At the beginning, I thought of making a series of stackable stools in different materials. I thought about it for
a while and started wondering, "why should they all be stools?" So we started working with the Moooi team on a new
concept where each piece of the stackable sculpture would have a different use: mirror, table, tray, etc. A series of .
different colours, materials and finishes would then be applied to each vertebra making the whole richer and more
