Nature and her many uses! Crafted from salvaged tree limbs that had been discarded as waste, the Timber Block stool was made with the lush environment it reflects in mind. A natural look with smoothed surfaces makes this piece the perfect accent to achieve a rugged yet refined appeal - and I can think of a million ways to use it (end table, door stop for the door you never close, seating, magazine display...). If you’re looking for items with a similar style, take a look at the Tree Slice Table we recently blogged about. (Available at sponsor VivaTerra for $369.)
