The desire to relax at home, to cuddle up on the couch and put your feet up serves as a constant inspiration for the designs of Hanna Emelie Ernsting.
With Petstools she transforms the purely functional, everyday footstool into a delightfully cozy companion enhanced with new aspects. You can put your feet up…or plunge them into the soft material to warm them. Petstools are true eye-catchers and can add a humorous and playful contrast to more conventionally furnished living spaces or turn the kid's room into a pet-zoo. With few details enhancing the minimalistic shapes, the petstools evoke associations with animals and irresistibly invite you to “pet” them and be amused.

Hanna Emelie Ernsting, Red Riding Hood armchair

After a strenuous workday, we long to escape for a time from everyday life and lose ourselves in the world of a book or film. These contrasting circumstances underlie the inspiration for the Red Riding Hood armchair. the chair reinterprets these two facets of day and evening, work and leisure time, reality and fairyland, waking and dreaming.

The armchair is enveloped in a soft, loose “cape” that is attached only around the inner edge of the seat. The cape extends in loose folds up, over and down the back of the chair, forming a harmonious unity With a turn of the hand, you can draw the cape over your shoulders and legs in any way you desire.
