Autoban chairAutoban StoolsI’m lovin’ the modern designs made by Autoban. They’re totally modern and make you look twice…there’s something not quite normal about them, but in the end that’s what you appreciate about them. I’m really enjoying the mushroom-esque stools. They’re so completely different from any stools I’ve seen before and are much more inviting than your standard bar seat. I also really like this one armed chair. Just something a little different, that you can help but to look cool sitting in.
