No, they’re not a new cartoon character TV duo, although I am sure they could be. Woopy and Snoop are new pieces designed by Karim Rashid for B-LINE.
Snoop is a rounded stoop made of rotomolded polyethylene that can store magazines in its cute little pockets. But, it also has another secret identity — a stackable element that can create a bookcase.
Made from a single rotomoulded polyethylene piece, Woopy is a cute armchair that can be used indoors or out. Woopy is also available in a stool version with a chrome-plated footrest.
And I just needed to throw this photo in because it’s ridiculous. I think this one needs a caption. Anyone?

It’s nice. We designed something similar a few years ago http://www.serraydelarocha.com/index.php?/2005/la-nuit/

It’s nice, It looks like if it’s made by some kind of chewing gum!! but I prefer yours @oscar

@Oscar, It’s different enough in my opinion, lots of chair design nowadays is influenced from here and there, we all do it knowingly or not, your stool was also in turn inspired by Ron Arad’s little Albert, this is only natural since there are too many chairs in the market, as long as it’s not an exact copy, it’s all fair game for me.
But I must say the stool version of this chair is absolutely hideous.

I’m agree Andy. It’s enought different, it’s only in a first glance.
