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.”

If you were to ask me, “Tracey, can you describe yourself in an outdoor chair?” I would a) think you were a bit strange, then b) over-zealously point you to these.
Mama like.
Oh how I would love to snuggle into this guy. It’s a small couch! It’s a large chair! It’s all kinds of sexy and comfy.
ecoist is a great company who makes super stylish fashion accessories from, well, basically trash. They collaborate with big brands like Coca-Cola, Aveda, Frito-Lay and Disney to secure their mis-printed and obsolete packaging and then fold them up into innovative products.
This is another brand I’ve sold in the past. ecoist has been around since 2004…before the big “green products” boom that hit the market in ’07; I think they really know what they’re doing, and I’m thrilled they’ve been able to thrive for so many years. (Fun fact: Kim Cattrall’s character toted a silver “Mega” ecoist bag in Sex & The City 2, which was an absolutely terrible sequel, but the clothes were still good!)
This chair, however. WOW. Now, I have a thing for chairs, so I am easily impressed, but you’d have to have a cold heart not to see the beauty in their latest collaboration with designer Emiliano Godoy.
Glad to see they’re looking at new ways to use those candy wrappers. What’s next a couch? A headboard maybe? Guess we’ll have to wait and see…
