# Wheeled Upholstered Stools NII’s Allround Stool Features Casters for Flexible Indoor Use By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allround-stool References: [nii-ingenious](https://www.nii-ingenious.com/)  The Allround stool by [NII](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/todd-bracher) is a [compact seating piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pony) designed with integrated casters that allow it to move easily across a space. Developed by NII’s creative director Hirotaka Tako, the stool combines a cylindrical upholstered seat with a simple, continuous base, creating a minimal form that can function across different interior settings. The addition of wheels enables it to be repositioned quickly, supporting uses that range from seating to a temporary surface or support within a room. NII’s design keeps the structure visually reduced, with soft upholstery contrasting against the clean geometry of the base. The casters are fully integrated into the form, maintaining a low profile while enabling mobility without added mechanisms. The stool’s proportions allow it to be used individually or grouped, adapting to changing layouts in residential or workspace environments. Its [wheeled base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-and-vitra) supports quick shifts in placement across different interior settings.
