Stylishly simple and conical in shape, the Coniferous Collection is inspired by pine trees. Although the polished sides and cushioned top may negate their nature-influenced aesthetic, the basic beauty of each seat is all that is needed to pay tribute to all the pine trees from around the world.
Created by London-based design studio Joint Perspectives, the Coniferous Collection comes in pairs and are available in three different sizes. Although they look like stools at first, they can be flipped over to be used as a side table or stacked to create a higher bar stool or a pedestal-like surface. According to the designers, "The intention when designing this collection was to create pieces that would invite people to gather."
