A spool, a stool? A funky (and functional!) seat unlike any other, this plucky little stool recalls brightly colored thumbtacks and shiny new toys. Designed by George Sowden, founding member of the Memphis Group, long time consultant for Olivetti, a designer for Swatch, Alessi, Guzzini, Moulinex and Steelcase among others, the Thing Stool is made from recycled aluminum, available in a range of primary colors and well-suited to indoor and outside spaces alike. Use it for whatever your heart desires: as a chair, side table for snacks and bevs or display for plants, books and decorative objects.
