Story
From the sewing stool
Knoll says the Piton takes cues from Modernism and from the height-adjustable stools made for sewing professionals in the mid-century era.
A base that resists wobble
The conical base, unified by two concentric rings, spreads weight evenly to counter the wobble of a three-legged stool.
