I never thought I’d be writing about a stool with the same admiration I reserve for a well-designed piece of luggage—or, for that matter, architecture, but here we are. When two design juggernauts like RIMOWA and Vitra decide to collaborate, it’s not just about merging logos; it’s about merging philosophies. And the result, in this case, is a surprisingly thoughtful and functional piece of furniture that you might not have known you needed.

At first glance, this aluminum stool in silver and emerald green cushion looks like something you’d find in the corner of a high-concept design gallery. Its grooved aluminum shell, courtesy of RIMOWA’s iconic DNA, feels both industrial and elegant. But don’t let the sleek exterior fool you: this thing is a workhorse. [Buy It Here]

Rimowa Vitra Aluminum Stool rolls, yes, it actually rolls, thanks to RIMOWA’s Multiwheel system which means it’s not just furniture, it’s mobile storage. That alone already elevates it above your average side table or ottoman. Inside, you’ll find an interior lined with Vitra’s Laser RE, a recycled polyester fabric that feels soft but durable. It’s also a quiet nod to sustainability, something that more design collabs should take seriously.

The two modular leather dividers are subtle but appreciated. You can use one to store chargers and cords and the other for notebooks and pens. You could just as easily throw in a bottle of wine and some glasses for an impromptu living room happy hour. That’s what I love about this piece, it doesn’t try too hard to be clever. It just is.

The detachable cushion on the lid is another small touch that makes a big difference. It’s firm but comfortable, and the fact that you can remove it makes it easy to clean or repurpose the stool as a makeshift table. [Buy It Here]
