This sturdy stool is inspired by the delicate filigree of the Staghorn Cholla cactus. Designed by the architect and co-founder of Artecnica Enrico Bressan, the Kaktus Stool is a contradiction in form—lightweight aluminum gives the appearance of airiness and fragility, but is entirely weight-bearing. The Kaktus stool is made from 100% recycled aluminum and can be used as a seat or side table. When not in use, the stool appears sculptural and makes an artful accent in an interior space.
