designer's own words:

Teen-age is the complex path between childhood and adulthood.
SHOW-COW proposes to be the show-case of this changing identity, a shelf where the objects (fetish symbols of ID) of the past child, the present teen-ager, as well as the ones of the future adult, will be exhibited in all their confrontation.
SHOW-COW, as an object of affective projection, replaces the teddy bear and so, fills the gap between teenagers and furniture.
Against a background of mood swings, SHOW-COW offers the comforting image of a gentle and stable friend.
Because technology will go on with its ever-faster evolution, SHOW-COW does not directly integrate any techno-devices (which will soon become obsolete).
With its synthetic nature (3D computer model), expressed by its triangulated surface, it is a pleasant hybrid of nature and technology.
The production (industrial manufacturing) of SHOW-COW is simple, based on the aeronautical technique of foam sculpted by digitally-controlled machines from 3D computer models, shelled with fibre-glass and resin and then coated with a gel coat.
SHOW-COW is available in 2 formats:
Scale 2/3 (200*110*35cm) for teenager,
Scale 1/1 (300*165*53cm) for adult.

SHOW-COW could as well be a show-case for COW by NSR.
