Description
The Habitat Akio Towel Stool keeps your towels organised and off the floor, while giving you somewhere to sit when you're getting ready. It's solid pine, that's natural hardwood that stands up to bathroom humidity and daily use. The ladder-style rungs let you hang multiple towels at different heights, so they dry properly and stay within easy reach. There's a fixed shelf for storing folded towels, face cloths, or bathroom essentials. The freestanding design fits into compact bathrooms without needing wall space or drilling. The natural pine finish brings warmth to your bathroom and works with most colour schemes. Solid wood keeps it stable when you're using it as a perch while drying off or getting dressed. The multi-purpose design means you won't need separate towel storage and seating. Two-person assembly's recommended, all fixings and fittings are included. There's a one-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind. Part of the Akio collection. Made from solid pine. 1 shelf. 1 fixed shelf/shelves. Freestanding. Size H129, W45, D35cm.

Our Stylist Says
I love this stool because it combines practicality with a minimalist aesthetic. The natural wood finish adds warmth and versatility, making it suitable for a variety of interiors - from Scandi-inspired schemes to more rustic or coastal settings. Its ladder-back design lends a relaxed, approachable vibe, while its solid construction means it can serve as both a functional seat and a discreet storage spot. Styling it in a hallway or bathroom as a towel holder is a clever touch; it's simple enough to work alongside both modern and traditional décors. For a cohesive look, consider pairing it with other natural materials like rattan or linen, and use it to bring an element of functional simplicity to your space.

About Habitat
The Birth of Habitat
In 1964, Sir Terence Conran founded Habitat in London, aiming to bring a fresh European touch to UK home decor.
The first store, located on Fulham Road in Chelsea, became the blueprint for all Habitat stores to come. The store stood out with its distinct design, and was famously known for selling affordable pasta storage jars just as the pasta market began booming in the UK.
Rapid Expansion & Legacy
Habitat grew swiftly in the UK during the 1960s and even crossed borders with its first international store in Paris in 1973.
The brand's journey through the decades saw various mergers and acquisitions, including its integration with Sainsbury's Group in 2017.
Habitat's innovation extended beyond products; they even launched a mail-order system in 1966 and initiated the concept of flat-pack furniture in 1971.
Celebrating its rich history, the brand marked its 50th anniversary in 2014 by collaborating with past designers and commissioning a special logo.
Innovation & Collaboration
Habitat has always been at the forefront of modern design. Throughout its history, the brand has been renowned for its collaborations with acclaimed artists and designers, ensuring it consistently offers unique, limited-edition collections.
Under the umbrella of the Sainsbury's Group since 2017, Habitat continues its tradition of merging contemporary aesthetics with functional design, solidifying its reputation as a leading name in home furnishings.
