Strong and exposed joinery at the upper corners forms the structural core of each Hip Stool. The outer faces of this solid upper portion are tapered and the corners rounded to reveal a visual contrast presented by the intersection of differing grain orientations. The turned legs and flat top act as an extension of this section by continuation of the taper and rounded corners. The final form is cohesive and balanced ready to function in any setting whether it be as a stool, side table, bedside or simply for aesthetics. For added versatility you have the option to choose a hinged top that reveals a compartment space within the body.
