1/2 Stool by WITAMINA D Mixes Wood and Metal
If we had to pick out the ugliest items in our house, the step stool would probably top the list. Typically an unattractive hunk of plastic or miniature-ladder-looking apparatus, these pieces are extremely functional (especially in New York where we have to build up), but not usually designed with style in mind. That’s why we love the 1/2 Stool by Malgorzata Knobloch and Igor Wiktorowicz of WITAMINA D. It’s an appealing combination of half a tree trunk and a technical, laser-cut metal base. And it’s certainly sturdy enough to endure the wear and tear of an urban abode.
The 1/2 Stool is made from natural oak and zinc-plated and powder coated steel. Thanks to a protective sealing technique applied to the wood and metal, the stool can be used indoors or outdoors. Plus, it can also serve as a cute side table, foot rest, or multifunctional seat.
