The Too Tight Stool by Avihai Shurin

Avihai Shurin’s Too Tight Stool is inspired by the story of Cinderella. It consists of a pillow pushed into a metal frame, which becomes the top of a stool. Resembling the moment when the evil step-sister of Cinderella tries to force her big foot into the glass slipper, the original size of the pillow is not suitable size for a stool top, but the metal frame helps squish the pillow down to the right size.
