INQUIRIESFuro is not happy being just a bowl or container for the living room or office. That job is just not fulfilling enough. Furo needs an outlet for its creative drive so it stands up on its tall legs and demands your attention. Each leg is a coloured pencil so when the sharpened tips are turned outward, Furo becomes a drawing device. Slide it around over a sheet of paper and watch as the surface beneath comes alive with perfectly symmetrical lines. A textured cork body mounted on 36 or 4 pencil-legs, which makes for two different configurations and drawing patterns, Furo can be dismantled for easy storage or to, literally, cut down on its artistic outbursts. Visually striking and mischievously inviting transgression, Furo is a seductive piece that makes you wonder who exactly is drawing the line.
