Strangled Stool by Brabbu
“Strangled” Stool
Off course it isn’t strangled, but it looks like it. This is a Paduang stool. The designers were inspired by the habit of the woman from Paduang to enlarge and enrich their necks with copper rings.
Okay I admit, a complicated way of attaching a stool to our Looking for the Lady Chairchez la Femme category. But maybe we may suggest to Brabbu to make the connection more explicit by providing us with some photos with a beautiful Paduang lady being seated on their Paduang Stool.
It is also part of our category Design Similarities which is aimed at pointing out what inspired the designer.

Leighton Meester
Leighton Meester
She lived with her mother in dodgy rentals in the West Village, then in Inwood, at the northernmost tip of Manhattan. Meester booked commercials for Bloomingdale’s, Stern’s, the Limited Too. She flourished under pressure.
“I worked a lot, even though I was just a kid. It seemed normal to me,” she shrugs.
Building on her success, Meester left New York at 14 for Los Angeles for pilot season. She and her mother lived in an apartment at the corner of Hollywood and La Brea, steps from the Walk of Fame, surviving on modest checks from Meester’s grandfather and fees from Meester’s modeling gigs. When she could, she took acting classes. She preferred the ones with adults.
