Tucker Robbins combines design with tradition. His Seed Stool is pure nature.

This seamless stool has a scooped out top, made entirely of acacia wood. The finished product is ebonized to perfection. Its calming design completes any modern organic room. |
02> OBLIO
The Oblio was designed by Von Robinson for Moroso in 2003. A versatile structure which can be used as a table, stool, chair, or anything else that one can bring into play. Some models are stackable creating an interesting art piece. The Oblio explores the concept of an empty dice inspired sphere within the form of a footrest and stool. The magic of the Oblio is that it creates an interesting visual three dimensional stool. |
