This Allround stool is by industrial designer Hirotaka Tako. It comes with a little surprise: Casters hidden beneath the base.
There's also a taller version with a third disc to act as a footrest.
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.
The name "ALLROUND" carries a double meaning: it refers to the full-round fillet—an engineering term for a curved surface applied to edges—and its character as an "all-rounder" adaptable to diverse settings.
While made with robust metal construction, its softly rounded form combined with a range of colors and finishes creates a delicate, melting impression.
The Allround ships flatpack. It's in production by Japanese furniture brand NII, where Tako is the Creative Director.
