The SP Stool is a minimalist stool by the New York–based design practice, Graine Studio. Conceived as part of Silence Please, a cultural hub where sound, art, and human experience intersect, the piece was designed to reflect the same quiet intensity that defines the space itself. Serving as a seating solution for the listening room and cafe, the SP Stool balances utility with presence, embodying Graine’s pursuit of objects that invite interaction yet stand as sculptural statements.

Milled from Baltic birch, the stool is available in natural birch or a hand-stained black edition, each revealing the material’s distinctive grain. Its form is geometric and exacting: a square seat with clean lines and a backrest that appears to slot directly into the seat, giving the piece a structural clarity that feels both engineered and effortless. In winter 2025, the SP Stool will expand into red oak, translating its measured form into a warmer register of tone and texture.

The SP Stool embodies Graine Studio’s ethos of creating work that exists at the intersection of ritual and rebellion. Its design is marked by what the studio calls a “quiet boldness,” finding beauty in restraint while challenging conventions of what seating can be: neither purely functional nor purely decorative, but an object that carries meaning and a sense of place.
