MaNoOtTa is a piece of very versatile furniture that can furnish both tiny and spacious homes, as well as modern day [home]office spaces. MaNoOtTa starts by being a stool... but not just any stool... oh no... a rocking one. So it is a rebel right from the beginning - it fights the conventionally static nature of traditional furniture on multiple levels. It can easily be moved around, as it is not very heavy and it also rocks. The rocking movement, besides making it a very fun object, helps a lot in making it suited for its second role - ottoman. For both its ottoman and stool roles, MaNoOtTa relies on help from its cork cushion. Once removed, the cushion allows the upper 'lip' detail of MaNoOtTa to surface. This detail helps create a concave surface that is perfect for protecting objects from accidentally falling down, much like a 'nest'. The 'nesting' place recommends MaNoOtTa for its third role - [bed]side table. The shape of the 'nesting' place dictates the shape of MaNoOtTa's cushion as well as of a second accessory: tray. The tray helps MaNoOtTa become a fully-fledged coffee table! If one MaNoOtTa proves to be too small for such a role, one can always add more. As the old saying goes, 'the more the merrier'.
MaNoOtTa works on the 'one size fits all' principle with a 400mm diameter and a 415mm total height.
It comes in lacquered poplar plywood with a leather upholstered industrial grade rubber cord that stops MaNoOtTa from tipping over and also makes its bottom part look as good, if not even better, than its upper nesting part.
