In what looks like to be another Asian-inspired creation, the Smile Stool is said to be the result of a study on the declining state of the Indonesian industry. The stool was handmade and is said to be a product of putting excess wood materials to better use than standard firewood.

Using the waste in the construction & streamlining a simple assembly process, this sustainable design gives hope to the industry & provides a solution for the survival of the local craftsman. The Smile Stool was designed by Fitorio Leksono.

When you consider giving your old kitchen a facelift, don’t forget the important consideration of all, go green or eco-friendly. Today, we see a lot of potential kitchen enhancing solutions and most of them thrive on resources such as bamboo. Also, consider the power consumption demon, something we don’t pay attention to at times mainly because we want kitchen peripherals complete even without checking the energy standard compliance they carry.

Going natural for countertops is recommended. Avoid the processed wood which may contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde. You can consider other wood materials such as board fiber or Kirei board. Other than being recommended, they can really come in modern shapes and sizes.

So the next time you ponder on kitchen renovation, don’t forget your social responsibility commitment. It is not only for the good of helping the environment but also towards enhancing better and healthier homes to live in.
