brown paper softseating | folding paper stool, bench and table
softseating folding paper stool stores compressed like a book. This paper furniture unfurls into a circular paper stool or low table or stretches into a long paper bench. Structured with honeycomb geometry, the foldable seat takes on surprising strength and flexibility. Multiple elements can be stacked to create playful hills and display podiums or connected by their magnetic end panels to form long, winding benches and creative seating topographies.
brown and blue paper furniture is made from wood harvested from FSC® Certified (FSC® C158591) responsible sources and coated with a non-toxic fire retardant.
Wider softseating can transform in shape from a stool to a bench.
24-inch (61-centimeter) diameter stool expands to 6-foot (1.8-meter) long bench
36-inch (91-centimeter) diameter stool expands to 8-foot (2.5-meter) long bench
molo softseating folding stools are in the permanent collections of several museums, including New York’s MoMA, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and the Chicago Art Institute.

paper folding furniture
brown and blue paper molo furniture is made from wood harvested from FSC® Certified (FSC® C158591) responsible sources and coated with a non-toxic fire retardant.
water resistant textile
The textile version of softseating is a recyclable, durable, non-woven polyethylene that is water-and tear-resistant.
white textile is translucent and aluminum textile is micro-coated with the actual metal, creating a lively yet soft range of reflected light and shadow.
patina
With use over time, the top surface softens and folds into a unique, organic pattern. The crushed facets catch light in a beautiful, variegated way, while the honeycomb geometry of the structure below remains strong and intact.
magnetic connectors
Magnetic end panels form the last layer of each fanning stool, creating a strong, natural clasp for the seats to connect to themselves or to other modular elements.
optional accessories:
wool felt pad
Each diameter of fanning stool has a corresponding wool felt pad, which may be used as an optional cushion or soft table surface.
eco-friendly table tops
Convert any softseating folding stool to a low table with a PaperStone® top.
PaperStone® is a Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified, durable, non-brittle panel pressed from resin and post-consumer recycled paper and cardboard.
Warm to the touch like wood, with a hardness similar to stone, PaperStone® is certified food safe by NSF International and Class A fire rated. molo makes PaperStone® table tops in brown, grey and black, and sizes to match each diameter of softseating and cantilever table. The PaperStone® tabletop material is highly water resistant, suitable for wet environments and finished by molo with a clear, flat/matte, Milesi 7° sheen, polyurethane top coat.
wool felt tote
The two smallest sizes of softseating are available with a convenient felt tote, for whisking the paper seats off to a gallery, garden party or concert.

Stephanie Forsythe
Canada
Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen cofounded molo in 2003 and are best known for sharing their ideas and products for flexible, sustainable spacemaking around the world. Over the past three decades, the partners have worked together and led the Vancouver-based studio from humble beginnings to international recognition and acclaim. Along the way, they have assembled a dedicated team and a family of specialized manufacturers that support them in this endeavour. The partners work together to design all of molo’s products and projects, which range in size from a tea set to a museum. Forsythe and MacAllen met in 1994 while studying Architecture at Dalhousie University. Between 1994 and 2003, they worked together on several award-winning architectural projects and competition proposals. These projects included foundational investigations into materials, flexibility, and sustainable space making. The partners built molo around these early explorations and ideas, and they continue to drive the spirit behind the studio. Together, they designed and developed the iconic soft collection, a sculptural line of innovative, flexible space partitions, furniture, and lighting elements made from paper and textile. The award-winning soft collection is well known for its poetic beauty and pragmatic design. It experiences steady, iterative development as Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen continue their experiential and technical investigations, or as a sensitivity to nature and how the products interact with light and shadow inspires new finishes or colours. Stephanie Forsythe, Todd MacAllen, and molo hold over thirty-five patents and thirty design registrations. They have received numerous international design and architecture awards, including the prestigious Danish INDEX Award for Design to Improve Life for softwall, the Architectural Review AR + D Award for Colorado House, 2010 Emerging Voices Award from The Architectural League of New York and Grand Prize in the Aomori Northern Housing Competition. Their products have been acquired by many museum and gallery collections, including the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Chicago Art Institute, Die Neue Sammlung, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
