I feel more zen-like by just looking at this chair. Whatever that means.

“Like a light-boned, graceful bird, the Becca Stool seems only momentarily perched. It strains upward, ready to take to the sky again and glide away. You almost feel that you have to sit down on it to keep it from escaping, but the fine craftsmanship of this stool makes that a pleasure. And for when you’re not at home, you can keep it weighted down by using the bottom as a shelf for extra (stylish) storage.”

Several of these would look good together, anywhere, really. And they stack for easy put-away.

“THE MUSEUM STOOL® was originally designed for education programs in the galleries. The solid wood stools are lightweight, durable, stable and portable. The award-winning stacker works well as a pull-up seat or a side table.”

So, you want super-duper-future-modern, do you? How ’bout this stool? Made of 1/4″ brushed steel plate, it certainly has clean hard lines, and if that doesn’t classify as super(d.f.)-modern, I don’t know what will.

This stool is tall enough to make a great side table or just have a few of them sitting around for on-demand seating. They have a spectacular ebony grain and will add visual interest to any barren corner.

Here it is- the perfect stool/seat/table/ottoman. Indoor or outdoor, available in several different colors, and it will also grant you three wishes upon receipt. Not really, but the other stuff is true. The foam is firm enough to set drinks and plates on and it’s pretty light, so you can move it around to suit your needs. Brilliant, huh?

Chartreuse, Grey, Light Blue, Orange, Red, or Taupe.

Here’s a secret about me. I’m cheap. Some may call that frugal. Anyway, I don’t really ever like to pay retail so I try to shop around and get the best price, which is why I love the internet. I really want one of the Time Life Stools and they retail at around $700. I think the pricing is all kind of arbitrary. If they retailed for $1400 then I would buy two at $700 because I was getting a good deal. But since they retail at $700 I want to try to do better. It’s a sickness, really. But here’s the good news: I found a place where you can buy them for $629 with no tax and free shipping. So there you go.

Super great stools that would be the perfect option for seating and/or side table needs. Available in White and Black laquered finish.

Height is approx. 20″.

I swoon. Made of 100% pure cork, which is reclaimed waste material from the bottle stopper industry, this little stool is something to take a look at.

“The central column of the stool, located directly under the spine of the user, is flexible, solid cork while the rest is perforated. The result is a seat that flexes and pivots under the weight of the user, responding to the slightest body movement. The user’s muscles remain slightly engaged to maintain balance, improving posture and circulation. Many have reported this to be a perfect seat for working at a desk or computer, enabling the user to move and rock while working and thinking. Because cork is 100% waterproof and impervious to rot and mold growth, this piece functions as well outdoors as it does in. Perfect for a bit of meditation in the garden…”

Designed by Daniel Michalik.

Approx. 18″ tall x 15″ wide x 15″ deep

Worth noting is this little acrylic stool/magazine rack by none other than Karim Rashid. It can hold up to 200 pounds! That’s something. It’ll hold your magazines or other riffraff while still kind of blending into it’s environment. Better still, it’s under $300.00.

Made out of solid mango wood, this little stool could be considered a steal for the price. Yesterday I saw something really very quite similar for about four times as much. It had a little bit more character to it, and a slightly different shape, but I’m guessing if you’re pinching pennies certain sacrifices are necessary.

Made in Thailand.
12″ round x 18″h

Constructed of 3 identical pieces of molded plywood, this was designed by Shuichiro Koizumi who worked retail in Offi’s store in Tokyo. He designed the chair and his manager liked it so much that he brought it to the owner of Offi who immediately offered to develop it.

Made from solid cork (full points for being a renewable resource), these are great pieces. Fun and sculptural. Designed by Jasper Morrison.

“The sponginess of the cork makes for comfortable seating in a lobby, living area or child’s room. Lightweight and easy to handle, both the stool and table have a sculptural quality, and also look great stacked.”
