Tool Stool – For People Who Like To Design Things…

Manufactured by SCP, The ‘Tool Stool’ is a stool, workbench and toolbox all combined.  The Tool stool has been specifically design for practical use, with a number of ingenious details that make it fit for purpose. It is made from solid beech, using dowel joints in the construction for the stool itself and a finger jointed method for the removable toolbox.  The stool has an overhanging seat on one side, allowing for wood to be sawn without damaging the legs. The overhang can be adjusted with four screws for right or left handed use.

There is also a laser-etched ruler on the seat of the stool, which protrudes by about 5mm, acting as a back-stop to be used as you would on a saw-bench.  The removable toolbox nests underneath the stool, using the cross

braces of the frame as runners. It has a painted red handle and natural oil beech wood finish.  The centre of the stool has a carry handle cut into the top, with radius edges making it comfortable to carry. The Tool stool has all the hallmarks of Alex Hellum’s design ethos, which is based around the practical use of everyday objects.

He has created a design of real character, for people who like to design things.
