what i heart this week (little stool, big heart)

The Zaishu stools come in so many wonderfully unique patterns, it's hard to pick a favourite. But a friend of mine has the Zaishu stool in the limited edition Florence Broadhurst print ... it might be the perfect stool!

The Zaishu is an eco friendly stool, with a lot of friends! It has been covered in many iconic Australian designs, from Florence Broadhurst, to Cloth (Julie Patterson) and Bird Textiles. Plus the many community minded collaborations, including globally with Indian artists, shows this little stool has a big heart too.

Hand produced in the lovely coastal town of Yamba, the Zaishu stools are sustainable across the production process, from timber (renewable forests), to water based inks and the flat pack design. Which I love, as you get the satisfaction of putting it together, but very quickly and easily, which suits the frustrated handyman in me!!

You can get the stools directly from the Zaishu website, or locally (Brisbane) at objx (which is worth a visit for other great finds too - stak bookcase, ceramics, phase pendant, the list goes on!).

And because I am a bit in love with these stools, here are a few more pics... which is your favourite!
