The softseat stool is made of polyethylene sheets sandwiched between two white cardboard panels, each with three embedded magnets, that link to form a cylinder shape. Designed by Todd MacAllen and Stephanie Forsythe, it can be easily transported when flat, the stool's polyethylene sheets pop into a circular object when fanned outward. The thin paper is sturdy enough to support weight, yet conforms to a user’s body for comfort. Portable, lightweight, and recyclable, Softseating is a furniture system that is customizable to suit its users’ needs.
Softseat Stool is in Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection.
