Cool Stuff: THOUT HoleySTUMP

I've coveted one of these HoleySTUMPs from Toronto design firm THOUT for awhile now, but could never find them for sale anywhere. Happily, Design Public has just stocked them.

The 18-inch stumps are made from white cedar (a weed tree in northern Canada, where they're harvested) and finished with glossy, outdoor-safe paint. They'd make great little side tables (stash your magazines, remotes, or reading glasses in the bored hollows); provide novel seating when grouped around a dining table; or simply be interesting, organic-meets-pop plant or display stands.

HoleySTUMPs are available in white, black, aqua, and lime-green for $140 apiece right here.
