Product:

Hedera

The stool rises from the ground with roots-like organic legs that converges into a slightly conical seat. In opposite direction of this transition the surface changes from smooth and hard to rough and soft. The stool has four levels of footrest bars - the different heights will provide a comfortable footrest for various human sizes. Hedera can be stacked, reducing storage space and shipping costs.
