This 'Steel Stool' is just one of the perfectly thoughtful designs in the portfolio of London-slash-Avignon based Noon Studio.

Still in the prototype stage, the little stool is not only simple but also really smart, since a number of them can be stacked together to create storage in the form of shelving. 

The brains behind the design, duo Gautier Pelegrin and Vincent Taïani, studied together in the south of France; and after five years of separate projects, have come back together to form Noon.

If you like Steel Stool, we'd suggest you take a wander over to their website to check out their other works which are similarly minimal, elegant and ultimately rather clever...
