The sustainable stools created by David Beck work as functional art pieces in the home.
While the 'Mu Chairs' are not exactly as comfortable as many others might be, they would make for an excellent abstract addition to a patio or kitchen. The handcrafted furniture pieces are made from reclaimed concrete and timber that has been grown using sustainable practices -- making the stools both visually appealing and good for the conscience. While the sustainable stools are meant to be sat on, they can just as easily work as small coffee tables or simply as decor pieces in the home.
These chairs have a variety of potential functions and that fact coupled with their eco-friendly production results in them setting a precedent for the future of sustainable design.
