Yin Yang Footstool

Yinyangfootstool 
Footseys have turned the symbol for universal harmony into, of all things, a footstool with the Yin Yang Footstool.

Whilst the Yin and Yang symbol has its roots in Chinese philosophy, it gained wider recognition in the West in the Sixties and will always carry certain hippie connotations. However, the overall look of footstool will ultimately depend on which fabric coverings you opt for – one example they have on their website uses Sanderson’s Dandelion fabric, which gives it more fifties feel.

Prices for the Yin Yang Footstool start at £290. Visit the Footseys website to order.

1930s-style Niven armchair and footstool at Heals

Inven

New in at Heals is this Niven armchair and footstool, unmistakably inspired by the 1930s.

Love that sloping back and angled arms, not to mention those straight edges, all derived from a hardwood frame, with support from high-resilience foam and hollowfibre cushions. That upholstery is brown semi-aniline leather.

£995 gets you the armchair, with the footstool sold separately – that goes for £450.
