Target Users
This sculptural stool was designed to explore the playful contrast between softness and solidity, combining a plush wool cushion with a carved onyx-inspired base. The intent was to create a luxurious yet approachable piece that feels both inviting and expressive - blurring the line between furniture and art. Its key features include a compact, U-shaped form that cradles the cushion, rounded edges for a softened aesthetic, and a harmonious mix of materials that add both visual and tactile interest.
Perfect for aesthetically driven interiors, this stool complements spaces that embrace soft minimalism, contemporary elegance, and sculptural design. It fits seamlessly in boutique cafés, art-forward hotel lounges, and residential settings that lean into curated, gallery-like atmospheres. Influenced by styles such as soft modernism, postmodern minimalism, and organic contemporary, the stool enhances interiors that celebrate form, texture, and material honesty. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for thoughtfully composed corners adding a warm, luxurious touch without overwhelming the space.
This stool is designed for the design-conscious user - someone who values not just functionality, but how a piece contributes to the overall emotion and atmosphere of a space. The plush wool cushion and rounded forms evoke a sense of ease and playfulness, while the onyx-inspired base adds a quiet sense of refinement and permanence. It’s ideal for those who want their spaces to feel inviting yet artful, and who seek out pieces that spark curiosity, offer comfort, and reflect personality.
