Saruyama Island Small Stool

Design Toshiyuki Kita, 2006
Polyurethane foam, steel frame, upholstery
Made in Italy by Moroso

The latent animal instinct and playfulness that humans possess is set free in a small space. These sofas were designed based on the thinking that, even if living environments change, basic human movements such as sitting and lying down remain unchanged. It’s possible to sit, lie down, find one’s own place and climb. These pieces have been named after Saruyama (Monkey Mountain), which they resemble, and are divided into various unique shapes.

Saruyama collection includes 5 units and features injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam over an internal steel frame on a hardwood base. Stools are offered in two sizes.
