Inspired by the ancient art of origami
When objects are born playing, they always have something extra. A freshness, a spontaneity, that certain something. Playing with a piece of paper, folding it according to the principles of origami, Mario Ferrarini has created a stool of extreme originality and versatility, which elegantly expands the Lapalma collection.
KAMI, Japanese for 'sheet of paper', is a form of pure seduction that combines fantasy and functionality, softness, resistance and comfort.
The raw material is plywood that meekly follows the lines of the design and its three-dimensional realization.
The opening in the centre, which during moulding allows for the folding and counter-folding of the seat and legs, becomes a comfortable grip and emphasizes the welcoming 'cradle' profile.
Easily stackable, KAMI follows us everywhere like a notebook in which to jot down moments of relaxation and creativity every day.
