The Last Stool is one of Hem’s most enduring and celebrated pieces. Designed by Max Lamb, the Last Stool was conceived as a definitive, highly functional stool: spun from a single sheet of metal it achieves extraordinary strength while remaining deceptively simple in form. The wide indentation at the top functions as an integrated handle, allowing the Last Stool to be moved easily around a space. It performs as a seat, an occasional table and a sculptural object in interiors.
The Last Stool is offered in a range of finishes: beautiful copper and brass that will patina over time, single-colour enameled versions for an immediate chromatic statement, and hand-splattered enamel finishes where each Last Stool becomes unique. Its elemental silhouette sits comfortably next to a dining table, by a piano, in a hallway or as a bedside accent. With its durable construction and timeless aesthetic, the Last Stool is designed to be used, loved and to develop character with age.
