Imagine having your house filled with furniture elements that you can simply grab individually by a handle and carry them from place to place. Scandinavian designer and architect Mattias Sternberg from Studio Vision A&D came up with this original design idea and applied it in creating the Carry-On Stool. You may argument that by nature, small chairs are portable. That is true, but this project comes with a fun, barrel-like appearance that would normally be harder to pick up. So the little “artifice” not only adds a special charm, but also comes in handy. Created from an upholstered textured tweed body and a natural wooden handle, the stool is fresh and original-looking, making it a good addition for a contemporary living space or for the children’s room. Where would you place it?
