The Darkside Stool has been designed as a [stool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utzon-<a%20class=)'>modern piece of furniture that will be appreciated by fans of Pink Floyd thanks to the iconic album cover artwork it draws inspiration from. Looking like a furniture interpretation of the Dark Side of the Moon album cover, the stool has a triangular prism design with chromatic accents and an acrylic top portion. These parts work together to create a truly stunning piece of furniture that will be appreciated by [music and design fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-by-paul-smith) alike who are looking for a modern take on an essential piece of decor for the home.

The Darkside Stool is the design work of Romulo Teixeira and Cintia Miyahira, and is the winner of the A’ Design Award for 2018.
