Story
The rocking chair's faithful companion
Fredericia calls the J16 Stool the rocking chair's faithful companion. Because it is built in solid wood with a sturdy structure, the page says, it can also serve as a small stool in its own right.

Same cord, same visual language
The page says the stool features the same cord and visual lingo as the rocking chair, and the sheet pairs its natural paper cord with each wood option, as it does for the chair.
