Doubly practical, the stoo(L)amp is a clever, self-explanatory name for a lamp and stool that has been creatively combined to become one and the same. A simple tweak with great applications, this luminous seating option would be handy to have in any living space.
Conceived by Kristen Smith, an architect and interior designer based in San Francisco, the stoo(L)amp boasts clean-cut lines and smooth silhouette that will complement a variety of existing decors. Although people will probably be loathe to sit on it simply because it is a stunning and almost ethereal design, they will think twice as soon as there is no more seating around. Great for large gatherings, stoo(L)amp will light up a room and offer a relaxing seat as well.
