Some of the world’s best designs take inspiration from nature. Take the KON stool from Lemnos, for example. Designed by Mikiya Kobayashi, this stool references the roots of a tree with its four angled legs. The name translates to “root” in Japanese, giving the impression of sitting on a tree stump that provides perfect stability thanks to the tubular supports. Crafted with longevity in mind, the KON stool series features quality materials, including stainless steel with a polished finish, solid wood, leather, and Kvadrat fabrics. The compact size and light weight make this stool ideal for entrances and smaller areas, whether in a residential or a public setting. Available with or without an integrated leather basket.
