Give a child a cardboard box and they will turn it into just about anything with maybe a marker, but mostly their minds; the Toronto Stool relies on that pension for imagination as well. A simple piece of furniture, the Toronto Stool boasts a modular design that allows it to double as a fun and basic toy for children.
Created by IN-TENTA and manufactured by MADE DESIGN, the Toronto Stool is comprised of a number of discs made out of waste cork and kid-friendly foam. Completely recyclable, it not only fosters their creativity and imagination, but also their coordination and movement. Aiding kids as they grow, the Toronto Stool is held together with a red cord.
