Kyuhyung Cho is one of our creative heroes, from incredible typography to innovative designs for diplomas. It is no surprise that Kyuhyung has managed to blow us away yet again with his new project The Poke Stool. These simply-designed pieces are unbelievably versatile – through a series of holes, you are able to slot them together to create higher stools, tables and sculptures. They also come in a range of different colours, all complementing each other nicely. You know when we say that something is ruddy good? Well, this is pretty freaking amazing.
