Functional Art

Functional Art — Cleverly designed and graceful in form, this interlocking wood stool serves as a practical sculpture for your home or office. It’s a seat, a side table or a footstool.

 Constructed of two identical plywood pieces that interlock without tools, the Capelli Stool offers an ingeniously stable and remarkably strong structure. Each molded plywood piece comprises alternating dark- and light-stained hardwood inner plies with a light ash veneer. When not in use, the two parts of this modern plywood stool pull apart and stack for easy storage.

 Available at Herman Miller, Capelli and Carol Catalano were recently published in Phaidon Press’ Woman Made, Great Women Designers by Jane Hall .

 Awards include a silver prize in the International Furniture Design Competition, Asahikawa, Japan 1999, ID Annual Design Review honorable mention 2000, Silver IDEA award 2002.
