This 'Butter' stool is created from 100% post consumer content, derived almost entirely from recycled milk containers. It is made from a single piece of material which when folded together can be hand-assembled to form the small seat. Available colors include yellow, white, black, grey, beige, blue, green, red, and orange.
The UV and water-resistant stackable stool is the product of Australia-based DesignByThem. Sarah Gibson and Nicholas Karlovasitis, the creative minds behind DesignByThem, collaborated on the design and plan to add a table and shelving to the eco-friendly product line.
