Compact, ergonomic,
innovative, useful above all, Shoe Stool the stool designed by Koichi Futatsumata makes
functional the very ancient ritual of the lacing up of footwear.
It has been
conceived to give a precise function to each element of its minimal design: a
small, round seat and a footrest allow for easy taking
off and putting on shoes,
under the seat a smaller round tray holds essential care-related goods such as brushes, cloth, creams and
spray; finally the legs
are slanted for increased stability of the esile structure.
Shoe Stool has a
discreet and elegant charm that allows him to belong to any area of the house –
the entrance, the bedroom or the walk-in closet – or to be a very refined detail for hotel rooms or prestigious
stores.
Made from solid steel it is available in different finishes – very chic
black and white, or precious leaves - that enhance and potentiate its elegance.
" Designing Shoe Stool my reference was one of the most ancient and ritual gesture in Japanese culture, the no-shoes-inside customs. My aim was to create a very contemporary object able to make it extremely pleasant.
The result is this
stool enjoyable,
no-fuss combination of curves and corners. "
