From the minds that brought us the Achter Stool – Austrian-based furniture studio MOWO – Move With Wood have come out with a new design that’s captured our imaginations and stoked our passion for how we build furniture. The Vivi Stool merges minimalist design with dynamic sitting, making it perfect for any modern desk space or home office.
Vivi Stool – Design Breakdown
The Vivi Stool’s unique design features legs that open into a ‘V’ position, allowing you to customize the seat width on the go. The split seating surface adapts to each half of your body individually, while the elastic wooden shapes enable you to bounce, swing, and wiggle for a fun and engaging seating experience.
Made from birch plywood and available in two wood finishes (oak and walnut) and five cord colors (neon orange, red, alpine green, dark blue, and black) – the Vivi blends form and function and lets you stay active whether you work at an office or from home.
Why We Love It
We are huge fans of molded plywood to create unique furniture pieces – and this is exactly what MOWO have done with the Vivi Stool. Enabling an unknown freedom of movement during sitting that feels like a “stroll while sitting” – as one customer said, is a brilliant design choice that puts MOWO at the forefront of plywood furniture design.
Should You Buy the Vivi Stool?
Absolutely you should buy it! Whether you are buying for yourself or you’ve been given free reign on redesigning your company’s office – the Vivi Stool is like a gymnastic ball, just more beautiful. Sitting on it will activate your blood flow, boost your circulation, loosen tensions in the lower back, improve your posture and concentration, and in the long run strengthen your back muscles.
