Teak Seat. We're glad to see that British designers Barber Osgerby updated their website (it was under construction for a long time) � it gave us the chance to review their archive. We found the Hula stool produced by Cappellini and it reminds us of a more contemporary and more organic 153A Aalto Bench...

Made from solid teak strips that were dry joined together, the Hula's organic shape appears light, but is certainly sturdy. The design would make a beautiful ottoman, too.
