# Screw Motif Stools The S-TOOL by Carpet Company Uses Fiberglass and Numbered Editions By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stool References: [carpetco.us](http://carpetco.us/)  The S-TOOL by [Carpet Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carpet-company) is a limited-edition stool designed as a 12 × 12 × 12 inch fiberglass cube, cast in a single high-gloss color. The form is defined by a screw motif, with molded screw-head details embedded into the top surface and legs shaped like oversized [Phillips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixman) screwdrivers. These elements read as functional hardware but operate purely as visual references, creating a direct link between construction language and object form. The stool is produced as a [collectible release](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edition-two), with 150 units distributed across 30 colorways, five per color, each marked with a numbered metal plaque fixed to the underside. Weighing around 15 pounds, the piece maintains a solid presence despite its playful concept. The packaging extends the design language through color-coded graphics and branded elements, reinforcing the release format.
