stools   so close to the ground

there is a piece of furniture that inexplicably constitutes a sort of rite of passage for any designer
worth his or her salt, the ultimate quest, without which there can be no recognition: the chair.
the stool can not claim such a status. probably because the stool does not support the human body completely?
