Taking design cues from the stools used by sewing professionals in the mid-century era, the Piton™ Stool is equally well suited for industrial tasks and domestic settings. The geometric framework is an interpretation of the familiar tripod structure while the conical base guards against the potential for imbalance caused by an uneven floor, equally distributing weight so as to counteract the tendency of three-legged stools to wobble. The die-cast material is resilient to abrasions and dents.
Also available as a side table.
