Sanctuary: [saNGk(t)SHəˌwerē/]; (n), plural: sanctuaries; a place of refuge or safety

You know when you’re walking in the woods and you come upon a cluster of mushrooms? If anyone in your hiking group has ever seen The Lord of the Rings, someone might squeal, “Mushrooms!” with exclaim and delight. While it may be startling, their utterance does mimic the joy that’s in the heart.

It’s delightful to see nature erect organic sculpture where there was just bare ground—striations, scales, gills, spores, bulbs, pores, and teeth. Equally delightful as seeing fungus beside a footpath are the Velvet Mushroom Stools from Cassarokids.

These small and large stools, which also come as a pair, are inspired by the vibrant textures and colors of Iran. Nasir and Saber Sharafi, the brother founders of Cassarokids, continued to hone their inspiration after spending time in Dubai’s interior design community. Cassarokids is now based in Houston, Texas.

Their play furniture is meant to inspire, engage, and spark wonder.

These mini and mighty mushroom stools are built for imaginative fun.

They tilt with tiny bodies, they’re easy to carry from one idea to the next, and they wonderfully fortify forts. They’re a great soft seat for anytime fun. When it’s time for rest and relaxation, Velvet Mushrooms are a stool-shaped sanctuary.  

The stools have a cloud-like feel and are fully upholstered.

With brilliant colors like Marigold, Plum, Grass Green, Navy, Coral, Sage, Mink, Camel, Black, and White, Velvet Mushrooms are sure to brighten up any playroom.
