The och-o is a unique multifunctional piece of children's furniture which has been designed not only for the child but also the people they share their lives with. It has many different uses, practical and fun for both child and parent. The och-o does not limit a child's imagination and was designed to strengthen the interaction between family members.
Relax
The och-o has been upholstered with cushioning foam and soft feel
fabric so children can relax in or on the product, in any environment.
Play
The unique strong structure of the och-o allows the children to interact with the product in any way possible, on any given surface. They can also be linked to create a tunnel, or stack them to make a fort. The och-o is only limited by the child's imagination.
Foot Rest
The och-o is at the perfect height to be a footrest for all members of the family and due to the open form of the och-o, can be used as a way of displaying magazines. The och-o can even be used simply as a chair as it can hold weight up to 100kgs.
Toy Storage
When not in use, the och-o can be simply flipped on its side and used as toy storage.
Fabric
The och-o is covered in 2 types of fabric - Macrosuede and Charade.
Macrosuede was selected to upholster the och-o because it is a long lasting fabric with a beautiful colour range. It is protected with the "Halo" stain resistance system, making it exceptionally easy to
clean and the revolutionary 'HealthGuard', for protection against dust mites, mould and bacteria.
Charade is hard-wearing and easy to maintain. It is highly resistant to ultraviolet rays, is anti-static and non-allergenic and inherently mildew, rot and mothproof. Charade is made in the United Kingdom and has a five-year manufacturer's guarantee.

The Designers
Michele Gray and Sarah Kendrick are the team at Grasshopper Design. They focus on producing children's furniture. We met them while they were still students at the Otago Polytechnic Design Department with the bright idea of kids furniture that looked good in an adult space. We have worked with them throughout the development of the och-o which was launched onto the market in
mid 2007. Sarah and Michele are lovely people with a wicked sense of humour.
