Balon

A stool that plays with the boundary of feeling caged and free that parents and children feel each day.

This stool is based on the relationship between a parent and child. As much as a parent tries to put boundaries on their kid they can still squeeze and move past them even when they don't always realize it. The baloon mimics the child's ability to break out of the mold and past the goals the parent has set for them.
