Pair of Derk Jan de Vries Storage Stools

A pair of Derk Jan storage tools, designed by Dutch designer Derk Jan de Vries in the 1970s. Their compact shape combines warm wood, soft curves and deep red velvet.

The wooden frames form simple cubes with gently rounded corners. These subtle curves soften the geometric design and highlight the natural grain of the wood.

Each stool features a removable cushion with new red velvet upholstery. Lift the cushion to reveal a hidden storage compartment. This practical detail keeps the exterior clean and minimal.

The design of the Derk Jan storage stools reflects the functional spirit of the 1970s. Simple forms meet thoughtful details, creating furniture that feels both useful and sculptural.

The Derk Jan storage stools work well as occasional seating or bedside pieces. They can also sit beside a sofa or stand alone as sculptural accents.
