Torii-S Footstool

A companion piece to its similarly-named chair, the Torii-S Stool from Karimoku New Standard also takes its inspiration from the ceremonial gates at Shinto shrines, an archetype seen across Japan. The harmonious lines are the very definition of the land's aesthetic heritage yet appear strikingly contemporary in their refined simplicity. The signature detailing of the stool legs, inset into the seat, is based on the traditional Japanese joinery method shikuchi, reflecting Karimoku's vaunted command of exacting woodworking technique.
