Better Seattle: September 2007

Double bonus Points!!! Can you name this??? A modern egg?

It does rather look egg-like, but no, this is not the future offspring of some android-ostrich. Can you name it??

Possible answers: 

1) A special pouch for packing down comforters with a zipper seal,

2) A modernist, super-light carry-on suitcase that has three multi-directional mini-wheels and a compact extending handle-grip,

3) A new temperature-moderating urban composter that can be placed in a cupboard or under the sink, remedying the requirements of property ownership/leasehold estate with land...

I agree, I really liked the idea of an "urban under-sink composter") that's because these pieces are actually modern designer Denis Santachiara and Enrico Baleri's Tato Collection flexible seating. This piece above is the Tato DS 855. Other pieces include the spherical Tatino ED 860 and the longer Tatone ED 870. Tatino
