I call it… Burniture!

Is it too soon to make a Samsung joke?? Well, I would have said something incredibly clever about how the Burnt Stool looks like it was kept near the Note 7, but let’s not go down that road!

The Burnt Stool’s aesthetic is truly unique because in a world dominated by gloss, matte, metallic finishes, no one ever tried using the burnt finish as an aesthetic detail. The Burnt Stool (aptly named) explores this in a controlled and beautiful way, resulting in a product that looks new yet damaged, and still manages to look beautiful. I just love those gradients, truth be told!
