Boet by Note Design Studio
August 30th, 2011 — Design
Note Design Studio has a new stool called Boet, which means Nest in Swedish. The stool is inspired by birds’ nests: elevated, protected yet soft homes supported by strong tree trunks and branches.

The goal was to create a sitting surface that felt much like a nest – like home.
