A simple armchair that reminds a fantastic creature. Between its claws it squeezes a pouf which, at the right moment, can be released to be used as a footstool or as a pouf for an unexpected guest.
Then, if it’s getting late, the pouf opens up revealing an emergency airbed for a never ending hospitality.
