Love the simplicity and pretty bright colors of these traditional stools.  Price is a little unfortch, but I’m always happy to support great design.

From 2Modern: “The Milking Stool is a friendly nod to a universal design, one to which everybody relates. It is perfect as occasional seating or accent piece in any room. The piece features ultra-simple graphic lines, a colorful duo-tone finish, a matte lacquer and a playful surprise when you turn it around. The stool is made of solid wood with birch legs and a poplar top. Since its launch a few years ago, UM Project’s Milking Stool has become an instant classic and has been manufactured in many colors.”
