Steve's Special Stool

It's no big secret that Our Glorious Leader has very particular tastes, and he likes getting his way. Fast cars (Mercedes Benz), fast jets (Gulfstream), and according to Valleywag, secret three-legged stools. Though no real details are known about said stool, the Valleywag tipster says that Unkie Steve requires his designer stool to be present at all important meetings (both Apple internal meetings and certain outside meetings), as well as available to sit on during long flights on his jet (though the safety of a three-legged stool in turbulence seems dubious to me). One would imagine that this stool will be present during the keynote, so everyone keep their eyes sharp to see if we can't identify it.

I have one of these, I paid around $300 for it from a designer furniture store in south Florida. Very cool! Not that comfortable to sit on for extended periods, but a good brainstorming device.

We've got one of these at the Small Dog offices that Hapy swears by. And understandably too, it is quite comfortable.

Of course, Hapy doesn't always just sit on it. :)

Thanks! This TUAW article caused me to investigate the Swopper, and I just ordered one. I can return it if I don't like it, but it might just be the office chair I was looking for. (And no, I'm not affiliated in any way with the manufacturer).

Talk about analyzing everything about Steve Jobs.

We're now doing a Steve Jobs' stool analysis.

I worked for an agency in Philadelphia that had a few of these in their fishbowl conference rooms. I managed to hijack one for my cubicle that I kept for transient visitors...they all thanked me.

That's not Steve's seat, people. Read the article.

Though, I do want that stool. It looks rather comfy.
