Childish Seating

The Croquet Stool by Wis Design Resembles Kids' Building Blocks

The Croquet Stool looks like it belongs on an elementary school playground. Wis Design has created three pieces including a bench, a low stool and a high stool that would fit in a kid's room. It's also great that they aren't so juvenile as to look out of place in the living room either.

The Croquet Stool and the rest of the Wis Design collection is playful and it looks like it's ready for a picnic. Check out more from Wis Design on their site.
