The Bate-Papo Stool from designer Flavia Pagotti Silva is a low, casual seat inspired by stools used in the Brazilian countryside. Its curved metal frame supports four plywood disks anchored by ball joints and joined by pliable fabric. The result is an organically shaped stool that conforms to its user. In Portuguese, the phrase “bate-papo” refers to informal conversation among acquaintances and the stool was designed to facilitate this type of casual interaction. The Bate-Papo stool is now available at the Moma store.
