The 'Island Stool' is a playfully interactive piece of furniture for little ones that will provide them with a place to sit along with a set of equipment that is prime for stimulating their need to explore.
The stool features a sturdy design that can be used for sitting at a desk or workstation thanks to the ash wood legs and the E0 rated plywood upper section. The lower section is integrated with a bead maze that can be accessed by simply flipped over the seat, which will enable little ones to stay active when they aren't participating in any activity in particular.
The 'Island Stool' is the design work of Hyeona Kim and WooSeok Lee, and was inspired by Kim's experience seeing children in the classroom constantly looking for items to engage with.
