Artfully Tiled Footstools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Toto Stool Took Inspiration from a Modern Brazilian Movement

— July 11, 2017 — Art & Design
The Toto stool is the product of two designers asking the question: "If man's best friend was a piece of furniture, what would it be?"

The friendly and energized four-legged furniture piece is the perfect addition to any modern bedroom or living room as its equal parts subtle and rustic. The stool is designed to complement a chair or couch, but stands strongly on its own. The Toto Stool features a hard, dual-colored tiled surface that is assembled on top of dark plywood. The stool is inspired by a modern Brazilian movement which privileges tiles in interior design.

The Toto Stool is available in two colors, navy and cream, colors which are representative of the water and sun respectively. This stool's versatile tiled design allows for each object to maintain its own unique facade.
