With the functionality of office spaces evolving, Japanese maker By Interiors extends its XT series to a versatile high stool. Designer Tomoya Tabuchi envisions the seating both at the worktable and as a more casual perch, with its thin, unobtrusive legs and prominent footrest accommodating varied sitting postures. The comfortably curved wooden seat is offered in a choice of upholstery options with the steel base in either a black or white powder-coated finish.
