The same way band aids protect our skin and the small wounds in its surface, avoiding dirt and preventing them from re-opening, we thought that furniture should have some protectors to prevent scratches, burns, etc…
 
To unify those uses in one product we designed it an intermediate size between a coaster and a trivet. About the aesthetic inspiration, when we where kids we saw in comic books how when some character got hurt, instantly, in the following vignette, it appears with a band aid cross… so we wanted that comic book concept for our product.
 
Funny, useful and evocative.
 
For Ouch! to be a polyvalent protector it needs to tolerate high temperatures, it has to be strong and durable and easy to clean. That´s why we developed our design in a rubber like material. A Polyurethane polymer.
 
Characteristics:
Measures: 120 x 120 x 4 mm
Materials: Polyurethane elastomer.
