Description

A stool for neighborhood encounters. Urban spaces are increasingly shaped by anonymity – Smal counters this with a piece of furniture that invites spontaneous interaction among neighbors. Hanging in the hallway, the foldable stool is always within reach and can easily be carried outside to activate threshold spaces and create moments of togetherness. Thanks to its lightweight construction, it is highly versatile – serving as a seat or a small surface. It encourages people to rediscover public space as a social meeting point.
