Pia's picks: these stools have got the hang of it

Stools are super practical in themselves. But when they also come with an elegant silhouette, I'm blown away.

This arched shape has a fascinating history - a symbol of balance and harmony in many cultures. And it keeps popping up in my interior design, as if it magically attracts me. The gently curved stools and benches in particular, inspired by the rainbow, catch my eye with their smooth curves and versatility. They are real all-rounders that enhance any home.

Possible combinations: Everything in harmony

Curved stools and benches are real team players and can be combined perfectly with other pieces of furniture. At the same time, they have their own charm and bring something unique to the room.

Versatile application possibilities

In contrast to the traditional rainbow colours, the current designs come in relaxed nuances such as warm earth tones. This choice of colour ensures that the stools are neither kitschy nor overloaded and can be easily integrated into a variety of furnishing styles. Whether in the living room, hallway or even the kitchen, the curved shape gives every room a special look.

Space miracle

Arc-shaped designer pieces are ideal in small or angled rooms. They nestle into every corner and make the room appear larger. They can also serve as a shelf themselves.

Ergonomic advantages

These benches and stools are not only a visual highlight, but also super comfortable. The curved shape promotes a natural sitting posture, which is particularly pleasant when sitting for long periods of time. My gently rounded favourites also impress with their comfortable cushions.
