Still Dreaming of an Interior Stoop…
Andrew Wagner
Two days ago Core 77 wrote on designer Josh Owens' new portable outdoor stoop seating made entirely of Corian.
Core 77's headline was "Gotta Love It" and you know what, they are absolutely right. I love this idea and in fact have been obsessing over it for many years. My one quip with Owens would be that there are plenty of stoops outside but frankly not enough inside. Stoops are always great for sitting and shooting the breeze with friends but for many of us around the world this is a pasttime that can only be enjoyed for 5-6 months out of the year. So why not bring the stoop indoors? Imagine the party's you could have with an interior stoop (below, a shot from Owens' which is undoubtedly supposed to spark your imagination for the outdoor potential of this piece but with winter fast approaching, it just got me dreaming of the indoor potential again). 
So, it is now official. ReadyMade is going to build the interior version of this piece and outfit it in plush green shag carpet. We are going to put it near our windows during the darkest winter months and make believe that we are outside drinking a cool beverage and relaxing with friends and family. It won't be made of Corian but it will be amazing, mark my words. Mr. Owens, thank you for reminding me of how great stoops are! More soon...
