The SAMU Stool Chair is a creative seating solution designed to bring joy, flexibility, and vitality into modern offices and collaborative spaces. Inspired by the dynamic silhouette of a whale, SAMU transforms functional seating into an expressive design object that breaks away from rigid and monotonous office norms.
Designed by the renowned Italian studio Favaretto & Partners, SAMU combines artistic imagination with thoughtful engineering. Its distinctive form and refreshing colors have earned international recognition, including a Silver A’Design Award.
SAMU is more than a stool—it is a playful companion for modern work and leisure environments. Its sculptural form, tactile materials, and multifunctional details encourage free movement and relaxed postures.
Jumping out of the ocean as its design muse, SAMU adopts the abstract form of a whale. Smooth lines and rounded surfaces create a friendly, approachable presence that softens the atmosphere of offices, lounges, and public spaces.
The whale-tail design is not only visually striking but also highly functional. Acting as a stable shelf, it allows users to place laptops, notebooks, or reading materials, while maintaining excellent balance through mechanical equilibrium.
Inspired by the texture of a whale’s lower jaw, the side pocket provides convenient storage for small items such as magazines, tablets, stationery, or spontaneous ideas—keeping essentials always within reach.
A discreet handle integrated into the tail makes SAMU easy to move and reposition, supporting flexible layouts and dynamic use in collaborative environments.
SAMU is crafted with precision and care, combining durability with a smooth, refined touch. Advanced moulding and fabric technologies ensure both comfort and long-term performance.
Designed for informal, creative, and people-centric spaces, the SAMU Stool Chair adapts effortlessly to various environments.
