CHERRY

material: 100% polyester fabric, polyester stuffing
dimensions: 2.3 x 2.3'
date: 2005

 

Cherry is a red “beanbag” that can split itself in two to create two seats. Cherry fosters closeness and the notion of sharing between people. It nicely accommodates intimate and close conversations. It can also be fun to hug and play with like a ball. Throw it around, but don’t throw it away, because it is recyclable. It is also convenient because it is light and detachable: you can easily wash its red skin by unzipping everything and putting it in the washing machine. As well as being amusing, you may be interested to know that it has been created to be environmentally friendly.

The fabric used is locally produced in Beauce, thus reducing the pollution related to transport and supporting local production. The polyester fabric is designed for safe perpetual recycling and its chemical components, free from Antimony, Chlorine and PBT, make it a fabric that is non-toxic to the environment and human health. The stuffing is also made of polyester. It is also designed for disassembly, which allows washing and an alteration of the use of its parts, making it long lasting.
