MANTAO Stool
An Authorial Study in Rounded Volume, Parametric Joinery & Solid Wood-Plywood Carcass Craftsmanship
Mantao Stool
The Mantao Stool takes its name from the soft, rounded shape of a steamed bun. Its generous curves and plump proportions give it a playful character, while the simple design makes it easy to introduce into different interiors.
More than just an extra seat, Mantao is the kind of piece you'll find yourself using throughout the day. Pull it closer when guests come over, rest your feet after a long day, or simply leave it beside the sofa as part of your living space.
The upholstered body is softly cushioned for comfort, with rounded edges and a broad seating surface. Its compact size also makes it easy to move around whenever you need it.
Made to order in Malaysia by NICCHRIS, the Mantao Stool brings a little personality into the home without needing much space.
Material Authenticity & Engineering Authority
Solid Wood & Plywood Carcass Architecture
Constructed with a heavy-duty internal frame integrating a solid wood carcass and cross-laminated structural plywood formwork. Controlled dehumidification seasoning neutralizes internal material stresses to prevent frame deflection across air-conditioned living spaces.
Parametric Joinery & Skeletal Anchorage
Mantao’s internal frame utilizes parametric joinery routines to calculate load paths across curved surfaces. Interlocking internal corner blocks and high-tensile torque anchor plates permanently eliminate frame flex, racking, and squeaks.
Multi-Density Cold-Cured Ergonomic Core
Cold-cured foam cores enveloped in breathable Dacron batting yield an immediate supple surface embrace, followed by progressive core support that prevents cushion depression and seating fatigue over years of daily enjoyment.
Artisanal Tailoring in Fabric & Premium Fabric
Panels are hand-tailored with micro-stitch precision along curved architectural seams. Available in standard designer fabrics or premium textured weaves that resist fabric pooling and age gracefully over time.
Architectural Spatial Versatility
Mantao is engineered for interior architects, spatial stylists, and discerning homeowners curating environments defined by sculptural fluidity and material authority. Curated as an agile companion in an expansive living pavilion, arranged in conversational clusters before a low coffee table, or positioned as a refined vanity seat in a private dressing suite, its low-profile silhouette maintains uninterrupted sightlines throughout the interior. Every stool is custom made to commission in Malaysia, accommodating bespoke dimensions and tailored fabric specifications.
Looking for cohesive interior curation? Pair the Mantao Stool alongside the solid timber presence of the Joot Stool or anchor your living lounge arrangement with the generous landscape of the Cadiar Modular Sofa.
