After the testing of the Ladder Chair prototype at the nursery, I received a letter from one of the children there.

I was very happy to hear that the test was a pleasant memory for her.

The letter also included a letter from her mother, who told us many interesting stories.

Based on the letter, I came up with the concept of Stoool.

The three-legged stool is easy to use for both function and design. However, it is easy for children to lose their balance when sitting on it.

Therefore, Stoool is designed to be a chair that can be turned upside down so that children can sit on it safely.

This chair is high enough to be used for eating or drawing with a standard low table.

The backrest swivels ,so it can be turned and played with like a steering wheel.

And It has a feeling of fit like a cockpit of a vehicle, and was very popular among the children when I tested at the nursery.

For adults, the two boards make it easy to use as a sofa side table.

By exploring the three legs form from a child's perspective, it became a stool pleasing both adults and children.

Thank you for the letter very much!

It gave me an opportunity to explore the possibilities of the furniture from a viewpoint of children.

I also enjoyed the time I spent thinking about the design.
