Those attending the Capsule Plaza space at Milan Design Week might've spied this pallet being unloaded:
Those are nested units of this THING_01, a casual seating object designed by Konstantin Grcic for his 25kg label.
"A stool without a seat. Is it? You sit on a piece of tube—right height, comfortable width. The tube ends are plugged (coloured TPE), leaving no sharp edges. Three legs keep it stable, with the front two doubling as a footrest. THING_01 is made of raw stainless steel—tough, simple, and low maintenance. Indoors or outdoors, it works. Light and easy to handle, it goes wherever you do. And when not in use, it nests neatly with others."
These are made to order—limited to six units max, per buyer—and the TPE caps are available in yellow, black or grey. They run €550 (USD $607) a pop.

Not too far from a shooting stick (but the tripod base would be more stable). I would think sitting on one for any period of time would be uncomfortable, but they do nest up tightly, so I guess they're more for convenience of the venue than the sitters.
