The Totem stool is a creative piece of seating from Australia's own Anaesthetic. Totem is designed to be fun and contemporary and features a stacking element that instantly turns the stool into a modern work of art.
Each Totem stool has a triangular indentation in it that allows another stool to be stacked on top of it at a sharp angle. The effect is stunning as it lets you create what looks to be a modern art piece simply by stacking stools. The Totem stool is also functional, and can be filled with sand or water in case you need to weight it down. The stool is weatherproof and can double as a footrest or a coffee table. Here's hoping that Anaesthetic gives the Totem stool a wide release as I am pretty sick of my boring stools.
