Yuka is a writer and designer from Queens, New York. She received her bachelor’s in business management from Stony Brook University, and holds a degree in exhibition design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. In 2008, Yuka looked in the mirror and didn’t like what she saw. Always feeling like there was something missing from her life, she had turned to excess, amassing a mountain of clothes, shoes, bags, and random tchotchkes to fill the void.

Puzzle Stool made from sustainably produced, plantation-grown sheesham wood, each stool can go solo or be grouped together with others to complete a cluster perfect for whatever room you set them in.

French designer Paul Menand created triplette chair ’3-in-1′. Design previously seen with his ‘triplette chair’, menand’s newest creation utilizes a similar principle of nesting in which three versions of a stool can be used individually or stacked into one another to form a single unit. This is accomplished through the base piece having half-pipe legs and three openings in its seat to allow the successive ones to sit within.

Animal Stool from Rakuten

The leg of the animal carefully one by one finished in the bearing surface of having an abundance. The unique animal stool with the pretty tail which is good to the accent of the room.

Basically, the conceptions entail a solid wooden framework with four emerging “legs” and a sturdy support for the seat. Here we do admire the level of apt craftsmanship, especially with the fluid angles and the finishing of the polished wood that accentuates the texture of white ash. However, the main visual element of the whole design is obviously the furry component that covers the seat, and also extends as a tail from the rear end.

As a matter of fact, the faux fur comes in different varieties which in turn correspond to the different sizes of the stool. For example, there is a “wolf” textured fur that covers a slightly big stool, while there is a “fox” textured fur that comes with smaller models. The colors of these fluffy components are also available in both white and grey, thus suiting the user’s taste for his/her preference in home decor.

Stackable Stool and Chest by Taiji Fujimori

toma — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 13:26:29 +0000

This furniture, named “Myrtle”, is a storage furniture but at the same time, serves as a stool. Alone it is a “stool” with a drawer; when stacked, it transforms into a “chest”. This furniture comes in handy when you want to quickly put away your miscellaneous things or when you need a place to rest your body. “Myrtle” subtly but surly supports our everyday lives.
The functionality associated with such actions as TO SIT, TO STORE and TO STACK, constitutes a humourous appearance of this stool.

The Hangzhou Stool by Min Chen

toma — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:52:54 +0000

The Hangzhou Stool consists of many layers of bamboo veneer of the thickness of 0.9mm. Each veneer again is made of several ultra thin bamboo layers that is aligned vertical to each other according to its natural direction of the bamboo fibres. In such way, each veneer becomes not only very flexible but also robust in all directions.

Each bamboo veneer is different in length. They are bent in an arc shape and glued together at the last 25cm of each end. There is one piece of raw bamboo stick that penetrates in the veneers and combines the two ends of the stool.

The layers of bamboo veneer give a very special “arc” of the stool, just like the ripples on the water surface. When sit, the more weight the stool receives, the deeper the arc will be bent in the center, and therefore the more elasticity the user will feel.
