“I have always been interested in small stools. Commonly considered less desirable than chairs as an object of study for designers, they are a seating category often overlooked in general.

Now synonymous with a distress signal, S.O.S. began as a naval term: the original meaning was “Save Our Ship”. Like a life-raft, the SOS Stool is a floating island of utility that extends beyond the parameters of what we consider a temporary seat.”
