Modern design stools: a pleasant disharmony

Stools are downright furniture accessories; that's because they are secondary elements that usually help to complete the disposition of an environment, as in a painting where each element must find its right place and each detail must be balanced with the others.

In a room with a pleasant and functional empty space, we feel the need to add an object that can counterbalance this emptiness. It's the law of harmony and stability that, needless to say, it can also be openly ignored.

Modern design stools are the ideal furniture accessories, especially in a modern style environment, because with their presence they perfectly balance the emptiness of a room. Moreover they're able to bring stability in a mild, slightly visible and destabilizing disharmony. Destabilizing yet fascinating.

Modern design stools are usually not very intrusive, but at the same time they impose their presence thanks to their slender outline. A perfect choice if you don't want to exaggerate with the contrast but remain discreet and at the same time add a distinguish touch to your room. Sometimes a stool can also be the real protagonist of a specific corner, space or environment thanks to the contrast that it can create with the surrounding or again thanks to a particular shape, colour or material that will help underline its peculiarity.

In a contemporary furniture style, stools can express really surprising aesthetic values, full of appeal and freshness. Old and new materials, such as metal, polyurethane, polycarbonate and methacrylate are combined to create glossy surfaces while the strangest shapes give life to imaginative harmonious combinations, making the stool a perfect balance for a linear and minimal furniture style.

The Freehand swivel stool by Colico Design is an example of this diversity. It's the perfect protagonist of your environments thanks to its modern originality, its uncommon hand shaped seat and its pleasant decorations.


Geo swivel and adjustable stool is another example of curious and engaging shape highlighted by bright and funny colours that will certainly attract the eye and the interest.


Ice stool with diamond-cut seat by Calligaris is a discreet but at the same time strong presence, thanks to its minimal shape, the original patterned seat and bright colours.


And finally we have the Fly swivel and adjustable stool by Calligaris: the almost irregular geometric shape, the chromed metal brightness, the vividness of the colours... all these things make this stool a potential protagonist of a minimal environment.
