DEDE DextrousDesign is the Athens, Greece-based industrial design team of Aliki Rovithi and Foant Asour. The duo’s unorthodox and innovative thinking led to the creation of The Wedding Stool . Their idea to join industrial metal and warm wood was inspired by the institution of marriage and to bring the pieces together in, as they say, “holy matrimony.” The easily removable metal piece acts as a carrying handle and can be customized in your favorite color.

Chool is a half chair / half stool seating arrangement from Slam.
In resting mode, it is a modern stool that can be stored underneath tables and desks. When someone sits down on the Chool, the entire seat descends a few inches to be at standard seat height. As it descends, the Chool has a back that rises. When the person rises, the Chool goes back to its resting position. However, there is a button that locks the position of the Chool.
As seen in the first image, there are several different varieties of Chool available, made with all different materials in different styles.
The Chool is completely made in Britain, near London, and all products and fabrics come from Britain as well. Slam is an industrial design company that was started in 2007 by James Lucas.
