The interiors in today's Hotels, Lodging & Restaurants: Fjäll in Australia reminded us of how much we like stools that can be used as seating, side tables, and serving surfaces. The powder-coated steel Sixagon Stool from Milwaukee-based Misewell Modern, founded by brothers Vincent and Paul Georgeson, is a perfect example. The stool is available in four colors (shown below): cream, black, yellow, or blue; $269 at Misewell Modern.
