While we’re still not quite sure whether this collection of minimalist wooden stools takes its name from the 1955 musical starring the legendary Hollywood Fred Astaire or, if it was the cellar spiders family that lend their name to this design (or perhaps none of the above), ‘Daddy Longlegs’ is the latest, award-winning barstool series created by the Norwegian-born Copenhagen-based design student Martin Solem.
Named the Best New Product at this year’s Blueprint Design Awards held during London’s 100% Design show, the collection is characterised by ‘a simple and elegant shape which is to be made in different materials and colours.’
