The object combines seating and storage in a compact geometric form. The seat lifts to reveal a hidden compartment, originally intended for domestic or bathroom storage. This functional approach was typical of many Italian design objects of the period, where everyday items were redesigned through new materials and production techniques.

The stool is moulded in plastic with four solid legs and a slightly recessed lid. Its green color variant is particularly uncommon, as most examples were produced in neutral tones. The vibrant color accentuates the architectural simplicity of the form.

Olaf Von Bohr worked with several Italian manufacturers developing functional plastic objects during the 1960s and 1970s. This stool reflects the era’s interest in modular domestic solutions and the aesthetic language of Space Age design.

Compact and versatile, it can function as a stool, side table or storage container. This piece has an attribution mark,
