Quirky boat funnel storage stool

The nautical trend is sweeping through fashion and homewares this season – here’s an unusual way of bringing it into your home.

The base of this quirky red and white stool is designed to look like a funnel found on a boat. A sturdy wooden lid is located at the top of the boat funnel, on which sits a jaunty red and white signal flag canvas cushion, which provides a comfortable seat.

But if you lift up the wooden lid underneath the cushion, down below, in the hollow area of the funnel, is some storage space. This could be used for hiding magazines, children’s toys, secret chocolate stashes or even your laundry.

It’s a fun and unusual piece of furniture and, if you want to add the boat funnel storage stool (which measures 47.5cm by 42cm) to your home, it’s available to purchase from Nautical Living.
