Minimalist stool designed to look like a friendly wooden face on four legs is a chair that is as happy to see you as you are to sit on it.

“The Smile Stool”, created by Jaime Hayon for Benchmark, exudes charm with its whimsical and expressive smiley face.

Round seat, made out of natural Cherry wood, features a carved-out “smile” as a handle and two “eyes” formed by visible tenon joints where two of the wooden legs pierce through the surface.

Furniture equivalent of a therapist, this stool holds you up and smiles back.

Smile Stool’s carrying handle doubles as its grin. Carry it around and have a cheerful sidekick wherever you go.

The Eyes are actual leg joints poking through the seat. It is staring at you…

By integrating a smiley face into the design, the stool serves its functional purpose and creates an emotional connection with the user.
