Object Of The Week: The Carry Stool
This unassuming piece of furniture is a hard working multi-tasker by Ishinomaki Lab, designed by Japanese architect Tomoko Azumi
As condo living becomes the norm in urban settings, we look for furniture that can transform and multi-task depending on our needs. The fact that these pieces can double duty is definitely a bonus. They take up less space, but are endowed with function.
The Carry Stool by Ishinomaki Lab is one such hard working object for the home. It can function as a step-up for hard to reach, vertical spaces. It can also function as a tray to keep order in the kitchen. Some have taken these to picnics as seating or to carry drinks and snacks. Some have even used them as a handy little gardening companion. When put together with another carry stool, it forms a hexagonal “hive” that can be used as open storage.
