Ultra-cool design, carved from a single piece of gold and brown grained Hawaiian monkeypod wood, also works well as a modern end table, coffee table (four below a glass top so you can see the legs!)—or contemporary sculpture. No two are exactly alike. Environmentally friendly. No, a Monkey Pod isn't an ipod for monkeys, but instead it is the name of the sturdy Hawaiian tree used to make this gorgeous stool.

Monkey Pod trees produce a buttery golden colored wood with dark chocolate brown marbling, creating a lovely swirl of color that is echoed in the design itself. Carved from a single piece of wood, the gentle twisting of this stunning stool adds movement to an otherwise static object. A surprising makeover to the traditional stool, this one has a base and seat that are interchangeable and allow for sturdy, comfortable sitting. The diagonal swirling lines that make up the central portion are visually captivating, and the natural finish and material help showcase the design.
