Here's a beautifully executed idea for extra seating from Pinch Design.

Imo is an elegant and handy little stool made with a solid walnut frame and a solid elm top which folds down through its centre when you don't need it.

But the nicest thing of all, is that rather than have you stick it under the stairs, in cupboards or cart it out to the shed, Pinch have thought to provide a small peg (in matching walnut of course) allowing it to be hung on the wall, so it looks just as good when stored as it does in use.

It's the little things isn't it?
