You will almost always find them, forgotten and barely used, in some corner of our homes. When truth be told, they\u2019re much more functional and ergonomic than they are given credit for! They\u2019re compact, and a great space-saving furniture option for our modern homes. They are also super portable! This collection of stools not only provides a healthy seating experience while promoting a good and stable posture but most of them are created from sustainable materials as well. It\u2019s time to cast aside chairs, and maybe adopt stools as your preferred seating medium. From rock-inspired Ottoman stools to a side table that doubles up as a stool \u2013 these furniture designs have converted me into Team Stools for sure!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Plastic_Translation_Stool\"><\/span>1.

This element comes in the form of Birch plywood buttresses. These buttresses distribute some of the force evenly across the beechwood legs, which, in turn, hold the buttresses together. The result is increased architectural stability and visual amplification, that gives the design an upgraded look.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_like\"><\/span>What we like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t require screws or nails to be assembled<\/li>\n<li>A more sustainable option to the plastic stool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_dislike\"><\/span>What we dislike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Options to customise the stool are currently missing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_That_Stool\"><\/span>2.

From empty art studios to crowded offices, stools can make the simple difference between sitting on the floor and having a seat. They especially come in handy when they\u2019re designed for easy assembly and storage. Developed by Alondra Elizalde, That Stool is a flatpack DIY small stool designed with easy assembly to provide a practical means of having a stool anywhere, at any time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_noteworthy-2\"><\/span>Why is it noteworthy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That Stool\u00a0is comprised of only a few parts: a seat rest, five legs, a couple of star-shaped spindles, and some connecting nuts and bolts. All contained within a flatpack corrugated cardboard box, the parts of That Stool are easy to assemble with no additional hardware required. Following the imprinted instructions on the underside of That Stool\u2019s top cover, users will first attach each leg to the corresponding screws on the star-shaped spindles. From there, connecting fasteners secure the legs and spindles in place, providing a sturdy bolster for the seat rest to mount.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_like-2\"><\/span>What we like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Assembled in only four steps without any additional hardware<\/li>\n<li>Can be used anywhere, at any time<\/li>\n<li>You can build it yourself!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_dislike-2\"><\/span>What we dislike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Looks like any other regular stool on the market and increased colour accents would help the design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Balanco_Stools\"><\/span>3.

It was designed as a response to the pandemic when the entire world was forced to stay at home. Putting home decor at the forefront while also giving kids (and adults) something to play and interact with, the Balanco set of stools takes its inspiration from rocks and boulders, giving you the ability to stack them in different forms and formats, creating art in the process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_noteworthy-3\"><\/span>Why is it noteworthy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The idea for the Balanco stools came from the Japanese practice of stacking pebbles to create towers. Traditionally, the pebbles mostly consist of rounded forms, designers Lisa Lai and Joel Wong decided that chiseled rock-like shapes would create more visual dynamism while offering a variety of flat surfaces that are ideal for stacking and layering.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_like-3\"><\/span>What we like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The poufs are deceptively light<\/li>\n<li>The individual surfaces remain relatively flat, so they stack on each other rather beautifully<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_dislike-3\"><\/span>What we dislike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Made from felt, there is a higher chance of staining this design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Swing_Ao_Stool\"><\/span>4.

But for this designer that was looking for materials for sustainable designs, agricultural waste, specifically rice husk, became his inspiration and material. So the design of the reading stool became rice-inspired as well, with the round shapes of the actual chair seat and the stand itself giving off a \u201charmonious emotion\u201d between the bionic design and the human who will be sitting on it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_noteworthy-5\"><\/span>Why is it noteworthy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to sustainable materials, he proposes using a mix of rice husk and carbon, breaking them down and mixing the materials together and then using perfusion molding to shape it into the final chair design. The seat surface itself is made from braided straw but with the rice husk used as the base for the cushion. At the bottom of the stool, the straw is used as well. This brings the idea of sustainable design full circle, so to speak.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_like-6\"><\/span>What we like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The stool\u00a0looks like a sculpture with an agricultural spin to it<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable + eco-friendly design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_we_dislike-6\"><\/span>What we dislike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As a reading chair, it looks uncomfortable to be sitting in for a long period of time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_The_Bond\"><\/span>7.

Well, the Rubik Stool\u00a0is somewhat like that as it can be \u201cturned, flipped, and combined\u201d so you can use it for whatever purpose you may have in your house. The furniture is specifically designed for spaces that cannot accommodate a sofa or shelves to store books, magazines, and other smaller knick-knacks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_noteworthy-7\"><\/span>Why is it noteworthy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If what you need is somewhere to sit, you can have it upright with the seat on top.

If you want it to become a mini shelf, you just flip it over and now you have two layers where you can place books, toys, plants, or even some decorations.
