TESLA. The electric stool

Industrial Design
TESLA the electric stool 
Tesla is a birch stool that has a built-in electric module. The module is equipped with three electric sockets and turns the stool from simple sitting to the fulcrum of a dynamic environment.
Tesla eliminates the traditional bulky and dirty power strip and creates space where there was not.
The electric module can be purchased separately and installed with very few steps. To create this project were taken into account the principles of Ikea philosophy. Inexpensive, easy to assemble and functional. 
For this reason the basis of the project is the Ikea stool Frosta.
It's possible to embed a light source into the electric module to turn tesla in a handy reading light.

Designed with Emanuele Lumini. Illustrations created in collaboration with Giulia Gentili.
