Featuring a silicone-coated seat pad to imitate skin and a metal body for stability, “Cheeky” stool is an attempt to reconcile humour with design to create a more playful and engaging user-experience while still retaining comfort. It is not often that furniture is specifically designed to be humorous, to liberate the silly child inside of us, intertwine light-heartedness into utility and to execute a 'not so serious’ concept seriously. “Cheeky” sheds light on furniture design as a medium in which designers can explore ways of bringing humour to spaces and experiences without a compromise to functionality. Laughter is the best medicine after all, and we can perhaps bring more of it into our lives through the possibilities of furniture design.
