A Stool with a Seemingly Interrupted Design

The Sbagliato, by Naessi Studio

This eye-catching stool is by Rome-based design firm Naessi Studio. Called Sbagliato, the wrought iron stool features a Canaletto Walnut seat.

One of the legs terminates before reaching the seat. For the designers, this is poetic, functional and very Italian: "An imperfect cut of a leg is transformed into a function that is as simple as it is useful. A hook for bags and clothes makes us hands free to communicate with gestures."

I'd like it if the cut end of the leg was maybe rounded over—clumsy me, I'd poke myself on that more than once—but overall I think the design is beautiful and surprising.

I wonder how often this stool will fall over with the off-center weight of a bag or a heavy coat. Perhaps the mass of metal in the base can handle it but adding a load outside the footprint of the legs without a person seated seems risky. I imagine someone standing up and having the stool tip out as soon as they leave the seat.

  Wonder why the guy was put in to time out?
  
  I'd like to see how the base attaches since the load isn't evenly distributed. A plate I'm assuming.
