Why Stool with Soft Seat

The Why Stool with Soft seat is the elevation of classic Sri Lankan form and material into a piece that is both elegant and functional. Sleek wood and upholstered seat creates a comfortable stool that is also pleasing to the eye, while the brass foot rail adds a subtle element of elegance. Ideal for spaces with a modern aesthetic that still retain their old world charm!

The upholstery requires half of a 0.5 linear meter of fabric (minimum width 135cm) or 5 square feet of leather.

Metals

Metal brings a sense of reliability, as well as contrast between natural materials and textures. Where you find brass, steel, or stainless steel in our designs, we prefer a natural feeling finish.
