This piece works with the user to provide a useful solution whether they are sitting, using a digital device, or perching on a high counter. Coming from a single modestly sized plank, it is also a model of sustainable design both in material choice and in its rationalised design. Each stool is made from a single oak plank, giving it consistent grain, with parts held in place through dovetail joints. The MIGO has a negative carbon footprint of -4kg CO2 equivalent, which means it stores more carbon than it emits during manufacture, distribution, and use.
