What is a backless stool called?
1 Answer
A backless stool is sometimes called a tabouret. Although opinions differ regarding its origins, the name likely comes from the word tambor, which means drum. Many well-known designers have introduced their own takes on the classic tabouret, including Charlotte Perriand, Carl Hansen, Le Corbusier and Fritz Hansen.
