Stools

U’Strozz, meaning “cloth” in the dialect of Matera, is the new footstool made by several layers of leather or fabric production scraps in different colors, hold together by a book stool nylon belt. Each leather or fabric layer wraps a polyurethane sheet that gives the whole project an unexpected comfort. The result is a reinterpretation, with a modern, ecological perspective, of a footstool extremely rich of colors and materials. Each footstool is unique, as each artisan expresses its creativity choosing the color range of the project, a demanding work that leads to unexpected, always different results. Comfortable, light and versatile U’Strozz can be used to furnish living areas, bedrooms or children’s rooms, but it can also be the ideal solution for unexpected guests. U’Strozz is the expression of Calia Italia’s long-term attention to environmental issues, a respect for the environment that is part of its culture and origins and that highlights the abilities of its workers, by turning them from artisans to artists, as each product bears the imprint of the person who makes it.
