Totto Stool: The Three-Legged Stool Reimagined by GamFratesi

With Totto, GamFratesi returns to one of the most basic forms of furniture: the three-legged stool. The Italian-Danish studio offers a warm and sculptural interpretation of it for Gubi. Crafted from solid sapelli wood, Totto combines three slightly angled bases with a generously curved round seat. Measuring 31 cm in diameter and 32.5 cm in height, it fits easily next to a sofa, Armchair, or bed.

The Curved Three-Legged Stool

GamFratesi retains the structural simplicity of the tripod stool but softens each line. The thick seat features rounded, slightly raised edges that evoke a tray. The three bases extend this pursuit of softness with solid forms and rounded ends.

This apparent simplicity allows the material to take center stage. Solid sapelli wood adds depth and grain to a deliberately minimalist design. The wood is FSC-certified. Totto is available in two finishes: natural, to let the wood’s warm tones shine through, and dark brown-stained for a more graphic look.

Can the Totto stool be used as an end table?

Yes. Totto is designed to serve as both a low stool and a small end table. Its round seat, similar to a tabletop, allows you to temporarily place a book or small objects on it when no one is using it as a seat.

This dual function is particularly useful in small spaces. Placed next to a sofa or armchair, Totto can switch roles as needed without adding more furniture.

How tall is the Totto stool?

The Totto stool is 32.5 cm tall and 31 cm in diameter. It is therefore a low stool and not designed to accompany a dinner table, work top, or bar.

Its compact dimensions make it better suited for occasional seating, as an end table, or as a small end table. Its size also makes it easy to move from one room to another as needed.

Which Totto finish should you choose?

The natural finish is ideal for highlighting the warm tones and grain pattern of sapelli wood. It blends easily into interiors where wood, natural materials, and soft tones play a prominent role. The dark brown-stained version gives the same grain pattern a richer, more graphic look.

Both finishes thus allow you to play with two very different styles without compromising the simplicity of the design.

Compact, versatile, and deliberately minimalist, Gubi’s Totto stool demonstrates just how much character a familiar piece of furniture can gain when its proportions are carefully crafted. Here, GamFratesi transforms three bases and a round seat into a small piece of furniture that you’ll happily move around, repurpose, and keep close at hand.
