The '12 Steps' stool has been designed by HaYoung Yoo as a seating solution for professionals or students alike that would allow them to sit in a variety of different positions throughout the day. The stool is characterized by its relatively simple construction of a solid base and a cushion on the top, but is also paired with a series of climbing grips across the pedestal. These grips can be positioned across the surface in a number of different orientations to let the sitter continuously change where their feet are placed to encourage movement and flexibility.
The '12 Steps' stool will also accommodate sitters of varying heights to suit the needs of those who are on the taller or shorter side who might traditionally have trouble finding furniture that is right for them.
