Modern Stools We Love
Stools offer streamlined seating options for a variety of interior spaces, including kitchens and dining rooms, living rooms, and even offices. Here are ten of our favorite modern stools, and be sure to check out more versatile options at the Dwell Store.
Conceptual designer Jasper Morrison designed the Cork Stool family for Vitra in 2004. Each stool is shaped from a substantial piece of pressed agglomerate cork for a sculptural look with a surprising lightweight feel. Cork Stool C has a round top and a pedestal base, and can be used as a side table, nightstand, or extra seating.
Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1933, the classic Artek Stool 60 is considered the definition of functionalist furniture design. The Hella Jongerius Edition of the stool recasts Aalto’s classic design with colorful seats and legs in different wood finishes, ranging from metallic silver to a rich walnut color.
