Wooden stool with a gaping mouth stores a magazine within its seat

Montreal designer Loïc Bard has created a wooden stool to add to his collection of furniture with gaping mouths that store magazines

inside the top.

A single magazine can be stored within the thin curved lip of the Andy stool seat.

"This new furniture follows the organic shape of my previous creations," said Bard, who has also created a coffee table in a similar style.

His collection was influenced by his childhood memories of a trip to Japan: "I designed this [furniture] while remembering the sober

atmosphere, the simplicity of the utensils and the rustic environment of the tea ceremony."

Three tapered round legs support the irregular-shaped seat, which comes in maple wood finished with natural oil or stained darker

colours.
