Traditionally confined to professional settings due to their bulky size and complex installation, conventional steam generators have long been inaccessible to general consumers. The Steam Stool was born to break these barriers—bringing steam therapy into everyday homes. Inspired by the portability of high-power portable power sources, it frees steam equipment from fixed installation, enabling true mobility and household applicability. Embodying a “simple but refined” design philosophy, the Steam Stool features a black-and-white color scheme, smooth contours, and soft-touch acrylic materials, transforming itself from a functional device into an aesthetically pleasing article of daily use.
As the first of its kind to integrate a steam system into seating furniture, the Steam Stool, with its portable design, plug-and-play power system, intuitive touch interface, and out-of-the-box readiness, solves the long-standing challenges of complicated setup and use in traditional steam equipment—reshaping the product’s identity from “industrial equipment” to “domestic furniture”.The steam system is discreetly housed in a stainless steel interior, encased in an acrylic shell, allowing it to blend naturally into diverse home settings. In terms of function, with its automatic control over steam temperature, a built-in Bluetooth speaker, and the light therapy feature, the Steam Stool offers an immersive therapeutic experience.
In terms of sustainability, the stool uses recyclable stainless steel interior and a reusable acrylic outer shell. Even without the steam function, the outer shell remains useful as a standalone stool, extending its life cycle and reducing resource waste. The Steam Stool redefines the target users of traditional steam equipment, accelerating the integration of professional steam therapy into everyday home environments and benefiting various groups. Through its sustainable design and home-oriented innovation, it sets a new industry benchmark and leads the development of steam equipment toward a future that is more user-centered and inclusive—completing the transformation from a functional device into a vehicle for health-oriented lifestyle.
