CHANG STOOL: The Rethinking Version
2019
Introducing the “CHANG STOOL” for Mobella, reimagined by THINKK Studio. This redesigned version embraces a friendlier and more adaptable approach, seamlessly blending with its surroundings. Additionally, we have incorporated a concept that is often associated with Thailand—riding elephants. It is a common misconception among some foreigners that Thais ride elephants as a regular mode of transportation, even to school. Taking this playful notion into account, we have created a stool with a padded seat resembling an elephant saddle, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the traditional elephant-back seating.
The CHANG STOOL combines functionality, comfort, and cultural references, offering a unique seating experience. The padded seat, shaped like an elephant’s saddle, provides a comfortable and visually striking element to the stool. This reinterpretation of the classic stool design aims to bring smiles and lightheartedness while paying homage to Thailand’s rich cultural heritage.
Whether used in homes, cafes, or public spaces, the CHANG STOOL for Mobella invites people to sit, relax, and enjoy their surroundings. It serves as a conversation starter, bridging the gap between traditional Thai imagery and contemporary design. Immerse yourself in the charm of the CHANG STOOL and let it transport you to a world where elephants and seating intertwine in a playful and imaginative way.
