Steelcase makes a cool and functional stool called the Crushed Can Stool that is suitable for many uses. Designed for a casual, contemporary work environment, I have seen the Crushed Can used in offices, libraries, university common spaces and even in people’s homes.
The Crushed Can Stool is like a big flexible tin can topped with a black cushion with soft upholstered sides that come in a variety of funky modern or sober institutional colors. It is hollow and lightweight (only 12 pounds) which makes it easy to move around to wherever it is needed the most. As is often the case with such a simple design, people discover their own new ways to use it every day. Whether you use it as a footrest or laptop surface, seating or backrest, the Crushed Can Stool will definitely get used.
Made with 100% polyester fabric and filling and a vinyl top, the Crushed Can Stool is made to stand up to heavy use and is easily to clean. This makes it a great piece of family room furniture that your kids will love, use and even abuse. The small, medium and large sizes add some variety and every size has its own uses. I might warn you that this is not the best stool for extended periods of sitting but great for collaborative group sessions or occasional seating.
The Steelcase Crushed Can Stool by Turnstone is available online from Smart Furniture and can be a fun yet practical addition to any home or work environment. The small stool cost $109.00, the medium one is $119.00 and the large version is $129.00.
