This Allround<\/a> stool is by industrial designer Hirotaka Tako. It comes with a little surprise: Casters hidden beneath the base.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s also a taller version with a third disc to act as a footrest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conceived as a new archetype, this stool is designed to aid communication while embodying ultimate minimalism. With built-in casters hidden in the base, it floats across the floor, moving effortlessly between people in workshops and collaborative spaces, stimulating conversation and fostering creativity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The name “ALLROUND” carries a double meaning: it refers to the full-round fillet\u2014an engineering term for a curved surface applied to edges\u2014and its character as an “all-rounder” adaptable to diverse settings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While made with robust metal construction, its softly rounded form combined with a range of colors and finishes creates a delicate, melting impression.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Allround ships flatpack. It’s in production by Japanese furniture brand NII, where Tako is the Creative Director. <\/p>\n
