Can someone help me buy an ottoman from a French website?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges of purchasing an ottoman from a specific designer's website, which features a space-saving design. The user expresses frustration over the lack of clear purchasing options, shipping information to the US, and the absence of responses to inquiries sent via the contact page. It is noted that the designer often replies to questions about availability with "It's not for sale (yet?)", leading to speculation about whether the designs are purely theoretical. The conversation mentions that the ottoman was designed in 2007, and despite promises of updates, it appears that the item has not been made available for sale. Additionally, a related innovative concept of transformable paintings into chairs is briefly discussed, although it is perceived as less appealing compared to the ottoman design.

Hi,

I'm trying to buy an ottoman from the following website.
http://www.studio-kosmodesign.com

The item description is at http://www.stephaneperruchon.fr/article-17569823.html

It looks pretty cool and has a very space saving design.

I can't figure out if they are selling it online, or ship to US, or the price of it. Anyone who understands French can help me to understand this?

Send a mail using the info in the contact page, but no response.

It's quite weird, I do not get it. Every item has someone posting "how to I buy it ?" to which he systematically answers "It's not for sale (yet ?)". He seems to me like a ... theoretical designer !

Thanks humanino :cool:
 
The table is going to be made from Corian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corian). He says that there should be a prototype made by September with October being the latest. He says he will keep that section updated with prices etc.

The thing is though this was designed back in 2007 and judging from his responses in the comments his work is not for sale (as of 2008).

Here is his facebook page:

You could try messaging him through there for more information.
 
What a spiffy-cool thing, though. I know a couple of people who live in small spaces who could use something like that.
 
That does look cool.

This is also a practical idea: paintings that can be transformed into chairs (http://www.picchair.nl/)

It does look cheap and less comfortable than the bass table though.
