Makastool, la seduta a forma di macaron

Do  you know the famous macarons? These colorful French sweets  inspired the Makastool, the fun stools born from the intuition of Li-Ving, the design studio founded by Antonio Lauriola, Nicola Troiano and Vito Vero.
When I saw for the first time Makastool, I immediately thought to dedicate it a post and so, I discovered that behind this cute colored stool, there is a complete design studio that deals with the creation, implementation and sale of handcrafted self-produced design pieces of furniture .
Makastool are available in two different heights and in different shades: purple, chocolate, lime green, blue, lemon yellow ...
The Makastool are completely handcrafted in all its components, from the legs in ash to the seat covered in leather or microfibre.
And you which Makastool choose? Chocolate, pistachio, violet, vanilla!
