Design Story
The inspiration for Carol Catalano's innovative design came from a very down-to-earth source. Catalano says, "In pondering how to improve on the simple function of a stool I found myself observing the simple act of intertwining the fingers of my hands."
Simple Beauty
Thin, curved form. The two halves are undulating molded plywood.
Striking finish. Composed of 11 alternating dark- and light-stained hardwood inner plies and light ash veneer.
Ingenious Design
Strong structure. As the surfaces between the fingers meet, they become stops that hold each half of the stool firmly in place. The stool unfolds, and the two halves can be stacked together.
