Sway Stool by Daniel Michalik
by Justin Thomas, Virginia on 11.30.05
This stool is made of 100% cork, which is reclaimed waste material from the bottle stopper industry. The central column of the stool, located directly under the spine of the user, is flexible, solid cork while the rest is perforated. The result is a seat that flexes and pivots under the weight of the user, responding to the slightest body movement. The user’s muscles remain slightly engaged to maintain balance, improving posture and circulation. Because cork is 100% waterproof and impervious to rot and mold growth, this piece functions as well outdoors as it does in. Priced at $348. :: Branch via Better Living Through Design
