is a dual-purpose step stool designed to be stood on or sat on, while folding flat for easy storage. It features a bent-wood top for comfort and stainless-steel scissor legs that lock into place for stability. The stool opens in one motion and collapses into a slim profile that can be stored vertically or tucked away when not in use. The name Strata comes from the idea of layers—representing the stool’s folding transformation, layered materials, and structural design. Senu references the sculptural wooden headrests made by the Senufo people of West Africa, which inspired the curved form and human-centered approach. Together, the name reflects a product built from layered
function, culture, and modern craftsmanship.
