Cardboard stools built to take the strain

The stool is one of the pieces of furniture that takes the most punishment: it gets tipped from side to side and rocked back and forth. Made of cardboard, it obviously can't be as slim as a metal or wooden stool – it needs a structure that can withstand this kind of treatment.

That is exactly what you get when a stool is built with the Schmulb methods.

Every piece on this page was made by trainees at the Schmulb workshop. Click any photo to enlarge it.
