Congrats, you just discovered May Again’s very first Inspiration Capsule in Mod’arte’s pop-up store in Antwerp!

From discarded bed slats to a flat-pack stool with character: let us present you Rover’s Latto stool!

The story

The Latto Stool was born out of a collaboration between ROVER project and thrift store STROOM, with one simple goal: transform overlooked waste streams into functional, timeless furniture.

Made almost entirely from reclaimed bed slats and leftover plywood offcuts, the stool is produced in partnership with a local social workshop. Each piece celebrates its imperfections, carrying subtle marks that reveal the material’s past life.

Lightweight, affordable, and flat-pack in design, the Latto Stool proves that circular furniture can be simple, accessible, and full of personality.
