Riki Watanabe originally designed this product in 1965. Even though it is made of recyclable material, cardboard, the stool is very sturdy. When the stool was launched, it was said that four of them could hold the weight of an elephant. Besides of the orthodox use of the stool, it can be used as a decorative element or even as children’s building blocks, which has made it very popular in kindergartens. METROCS launched a new color variation, yellow, in 2009.
