More About Cream Stool
The Cream Stool has legs on straight edges of its seat, which look like natural curved extensions of its seat. When reversed, the stool can be used as a toy box, as its legs are just like sides of the box. All the bends at the front and back sides of the stool are curved, to make it look meek and lovely and dramatically reduce the possibility of hurting children when it turns over. The slightly sunken curve of its seat brings comfortable support, and the outstretching triangular shape makes the stool easy to be piled up and stored in a corner.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Based on the feature of children’s stools with a low seat, the legs are designed as an extended and curved part of the seat, to increase stability and capacity with the wide legs. The Cream Stool can be compared to a big toy for children to play games with.
- Inspiration
- A stool is commonly designed with legs at corners of its seat, while the Cream Stool has legs on straight edges of its seat, which look like natural curved extensions of its seat. It is fused with toys, rather than exists as a separate piece of furniture. It is not only a stool safe and reliable to sit on, but also a ladder for children to reach toys placed high. When turned over, it becomes a toy box. Besides physical functions, it also brings a sense of company, as it can be a fortress, a toy bear’s home, etc.
- Research
- It is convenient to produce, as it is made with simple technology and materials without cumbersome decoration. It is also convenient to transport and store. Therefore, every family can afford it.
- Realization and Technology
- Looking like a melting ice cream, the whole stool is made up of curves, creating an overall sense of safety. The integrated smooth appearance created by injection molding, coupled with its compact size, makes the Cream Stool more like a toy, which children will find cute and familiar.
- Operation and Interaction
- The wide flat legs are more suitable for children to hold and move the Cream Stool, which becomes a toy box with the upside down. The fully curved shape also enables it to dramatically reduce the possibility of hurting children when turned over. The slightly sunken curve of its seat brings comfortable support. Moreover, the stool can be piled up to save space, and is easy to be concealed in a corner due to its triangular shape.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in March 2021 in Shanghai, China and finished in August 2022 in Shanghai,China, and is currently in production.
