The Rocket Stool was a commission designed to fit an existing bathroom vanity table. Tom King liked the look of the Dancer Café chairs, but wanted something with a lower backrest to fit below the vanity. The seat, the circles in the backrest and the chair's feet are worked from hand-textured copper. Seat height is 20". This stool can be ordered with or without the backrest, and can be scaled to barstool height. Below is a quote from Tom:
"John.....my wife loves the stool which arrived today…
it fits perfectly under her vanity. The only bad news for me
is now she has a new master plan for the bathroom
which is going to cost me big bucks!"

Hey, John! It occurs to me that this piece looks a little bit Art Deco/Art Nouveau-ish. Sort of reminiscent of some of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's pieces. I don't know if this has occurred to you, or if it was intentional (or intentionally not ;) but that sort of opens up a whole other avenue for exploration and marketing: Art Nouveau revival. Both styles are still wildly popular. Capische?
