Simple concept – wood is beautiful and should be designed as such. Simple rule and core principal of design – look to nature for inspiration. Mother Nature will never let you down, because she got it right the first time. The Petal5 Stacking Stool, designed by Brooklyn-based design/build studio 4-Pli, demonstrates all of the above beautifully.

“As if it were walking, each foot stretches to reach further away. Whatever the angles, it always looks strikingly different from one point of view to another, as if you could never really grab it.” (Designer Alain Gilles)
