The craft world continues to influence the world of industrial design by the looks of the Tight Stool. Considering that these two realms are so closely related in the scheme of art and design, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Yet instead of going for an overly crafty as seen in the past with yarn and crocheted decor, the Tight Stool takes on a more refined and modern look.
Created by Belgium-based designer Diane Steverlynck, the Tight Stool is made using only wood and thread material. Bound by a spool of colored thread, the stool does not require the help of glue or nails to keep it together.
Simple yet sophisticated, the Tight Stool would fit into any living space nicely.
