The Hug stool by Italian design studio Emo Design will launch this year at Salone del Mobile in Milan. Made of white teak, the playfully-colored rope “handle” is a nice contrast to the monolithic body, not to mention a little help with mobility.

This great, big lump of solid timber is a smack in the face to trees everywhere. I cannot believe this sort of thing is celebrated. A huge mass of timber masquerading as design just because some fancy studio says it is. Is it called “hug” because that’s the last thing a protestor did to the tree before it was unceremoniously cut down for emo design’s new range? Ridiculous.
