Ariake Homage Stool


  • The small, low backrest provides character in the form of a signature silhouette.
  • A repeated T-shaped junction supports the seat and backrest.
  • We wanted to create a new stool that felt as natural and confident as this petite one that we stumbled upon in the Ariake factory.

  • A compact bar stool.

For our second collaboration with Japanese furniture brand Ariake, inspiration struck in a design workshop during a trip to Saga. We stumbled upon a petite stool, almost hidden under a desk, and were immediately struck by its functional simplicity. We wanted to create a new stool that felt as natural and confident as the one in the Ariake factory, but for a broader context.

The resulting Homage Stool is the indispensable extra seat for the home dining table — with enough personality to set the tone of voice for a cafe or restaurant. A repeated T-shaped junction supports the seat and backrest with its signature silhouette. Homage is a versatile stool available in two heights. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, making it a useful companion as much as an iconic design.
