Taiwanese Red Stool

Wow, that was fast—we'll be restocking these stools, so join the waitlist to be the first to know when they're back. Red plastic stools are an agent of Taiwanese urbanism—they transform the street into a night market, a small corner of an alleyway into a snack shop, a park into an event venue, and even an opera hall into a canteen. Because of their lightweight, stackable, robust, and affordable qualities, they engage street life in a flexible way. We’ve long had a diorama-sized version of the red stool in our collection, but now, we’re bringing you the real thing. Deep red with sleek faceted curves, this plastic stool is quite a bit sturdier than the standard issue we’ve found in many dollar stores around NYC. The plastic is a bit thicker, the feet have rubber stoppers, and the seat is reinforced. It can be used indoors or outdoors for both utilitarian and ornamental purposes. Set a bunch of stools out in the backyard to host a Mid-Autumn BBQ, Taiwan-style, then stack ‘em up in the shed to easily store them away. Bring a stool indoors for extra seating, or as a decorative plant stand—an aesthetic nod to Taiwanese street life (even better if paired with a Taiwanese mailbox).About Yun Hai SelectionYun Hai Selection is the house brand of Yun Hai Taiwanese Pantry.A Note on PricingThe prices on these are definitely higher than you’d see in Taiwan.
