The Olly Stool is a modernized version of the traditional tri-symmetric design. In place of the standard straight legs, the Olly Stool boasts an abstract steel frame that is at once playful and artistic. As though it were repurposed from re-finished pipes, the design has an industrial feel that many will appreciate. It is a style that doesn't appear to be dying down any time soon.
Designed by Junction Fifteen, a studio based in the United Kingdom, the Olly Stool is topped with a seat made out of either solid European Oak or American Walnut stool top. Although already a treat for the eyes, one of the more fun details lies in the three bowling ball style finger holes that make lifting and positioning a cinch.
