Hi Pad Stool
Made by Cappellini
Designed by Jasper Morrison
Jasper Morrison designed the Hi Pad Stool for Cappellini as an exercise in economy, where every decision serves the whole. The seat is shaped from beech plywood and contoured with leather or fabric upholstery through a process that fuses industrial method with careful craft.
Morrison's instinct for proportion is most visible in what the stool withholds. It asks little of a room, yet its silhouette reads with unmistakable clarity from every angle. The stainless steel base is available in satined or matte finish, each lending a distinct atmosphere to the piece without competing with its surroundings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Hi Pad Stool for Cappellini?
The Hi Pad Stool was designed by Jasper Morrison, the British designer known for his philosophy of quiet functionality and precise formal reduction. Morrison has collaborated with Cappellini across multiple collections, and the Hi Pad reflects his consistent approach: nothing added without reason.
What upholstery options are available for the Hi Pad Stool?
The Hi Pad Stool is available with leather or fabric upholstery applied over a beech plywood seat form. The specific materials and colorways are subject to Cappellini's current offerings, and made-to-order configurations may expand the available options.
What is the base finish on the Hi Pad Stool?
The base is constructed from stainless steel and is offered in either a satined or matte finish. The two finishes carry different visual weights, with the satined version lending a slightly warmer reflectivity and the matte offering a more subdued, architectural presence.
Is the Hi Pad Stool suitable for commercial or contract use?
Yes. The Hi Pad Stool holds Greenguard Gold certification, which verifies low chemical emissions and makes it appropriate for both residential interiors and commercial contract environments such as hospitality and workplace settings.
What design philosophy does the Hi Pad Stool represent?
The Hi Pad embodies Morrison's approach to Super Normal design, a sensibility that values objects which feel self-evident rather than declarative. The stool achieves its character through proportion and material selection rather than ornament or gesture.
