Materials and lifespan
MANUFACTURING AND MATERIALS:
- Smart furniture made from 100% recyclable, biodegradable and anti-static cardboard
- The cardboard sheets are assembled in a honeycomb pattern which makes the whole thing ultra-strong and light at the same time.
- The cardboard has a glossy appearance which provides protection against humidity
- The 6 magnets integrated into the walls of the stool allow ultra-fast opening and closing
- Laboratory certified structure with a compression of 900 kg
LIFETIME :
- Stooly furniture has been designed to accompany you in each of your events. It is strong and resistant to loads and wear. It must be used in accordance with the purpose for which it was created.
- For optimal lifespan, we recommend always sitting on the seat cushion supplied with the stool: in addition to its functionality relating to comfort and ergonomics, this cushion protects the cardboard of your stool by distributing the loads.
- This way the honeycomb structure will remain intact.

Maintenance and use tips
- If you wish to store the furniture after use, we advise you to store it and keep it closed with its elastic in a dry place.
- Please note that if closed for a prolonged period, the magnets could become demagnetized.
If you are in this situation, we advise you to recharge the magnets using the video method here - If you wish to leave the stool open, please note that your stool is made with anti-static material to prevent dust from settling on it. On the other hand, it can happen that small elements slip between the cells. They will quickly leave with a vacuum cleaner in blower mode.
- Your stool is resistant to humidity, but prolonged contact with water can damage it. To maintain it properly, please dry it with a dry cloth if you pour water on it.
If there is a stain, a slightly dampened cloth or a “magic” eraser can also help you make it disappear.
To avoid with Stooly furniture
- As the furniture is intended for indoor use only , we do not recommend putting it outside in the rain or in a very humid place such as a bathroom.
- We do not recommend leaving the furniture in a place open to the public without supervision (for example waiting room, hotel lobby). People unfamiliar with the product might tear the fins or sit without the cushions.
- We do not recommend pouring liquids such as wine, the furniture could become stained without the possibility of removing the stain.
- As the paper is not anti-UV, prolonged exposure to the sun will cause the product to discolor.
- If you sit without a seat cushion, the wings may bend on the surface. To restore the vertical position of the fins, it is recommended to close the bench or stool for a few hours.
- It is important to note that even if the wings bend, this will not affect the resistance of the bench, which will remain capable of supporting up to 900 kg per seat.
Questions answers
Stooly furniture
Is it solid?
Of course !
All our products resist heavy loads thanks to a weight distribution system between the support and the honeycomb cardboard top.
For example, the Stooly stool is capable of supporting 300 kg!
What is the advantage?
Stooly is eco-chic and smart furniture, easy to store, which saves you space thanks to furniture that folds like origami.
The other advantage is that it is multi-use. A stool can be used very well as a side table, a small bedside table, a plant stand, a seat...
How it works ?
Very simple ! It’s an origami system that relaxes once opened.
For example for the stool:
Pull on each side to open the cardboard cells. When the walls touch, several magnets inside will attach to the opening.
Facilitate this magnetism by positioning your hands in the middle of these walls.
Tie a bow with the satin ribbon on the side and voila!
Where can I see Stooly products?
We distribute our products on our site stooly.fr but also in our network of partners:
We also participate in trade fairs regularly throughout France. Sometimes they are open to the public, for example the Paris Fair, sometimes reserved for professionals. Don't hesitate to subscribe to our newsletter to be informed of upcoming events!
What if I spill a glass of water?
The stool is resistant to humidity, not water. Contact with water considerably reduces its lifespan.
These are cardboard pieces of furniture, and we have chosen not to chemically treat the cardboard.
We could have added plastic film and made it into outdoor furniture, but that makes it non-recyclable. Keeping them in cardboard is a choice on our part.
Does it stain?
It can stain just like a fabric or leather sofa. You must take care of it and maintain appropriate use.
Why don't the walls magnetize?
Cardboard can sometimes be very stiff when first opened. Don't hesitate to relax your stool like an accordion to make the cardboard more flexible and keep it open with the magnets.
The more you use it, the more flexible it becomes!
How to maintain Stooly products?
Stooly is furniture designed for indoors. Here are our recommendations for use:
- To best preserve your Stooly products, it is necessary to prefer dry places and avoid humid areas.
- You can clean the cardboard with a dry or damp cloth only.
- In order not to damage the base, it is best to sit on a flat, smooth and dry floor.
- Avoid bending over or putting one knee directly on the structure without a seat. The solidity will not change
