Story
One object, three uses
Eero Aarnio created Trioli in 2005, and it received the Compasso d'Oro in 2008. It is a children's chair with two seat heights that, laid down on its curved front, changes into a rocking horse.
Playful and durable
Trioli is playful, colourful and durable, and it is made of rotational-moulded polyethylene. In Aarnio's words, a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair.
