Falabella By Lucy Kurrein
Falabella is a tribute to the craftsmanship
and love of a carefully chiseled solitaire.
Designed by Lucy Kurrein, Falabella is a neat
and lightweight piece of furniture with a
personal shape and a name borrowed from
the world’s smallest horse.
The Falabella stool is a small, neat and light-
weight stool made of molded plywood,
sculptural in its expression and easy both to
move around and to like. “Falabella is based on
a design idea that I have carried with me for a
long time, ever since my studies. Although the
product may look straightforward and simple,
it puts high demands on the manufacturer’s
craftsmanship. When Offecct asked me to
create a small piece of occasional furniture,
it was finally possible for us to make Falabella
come true,” says Lucy Kurrein.

From a young age, she has combined a passion for art and design with an interest in horses, and as a child
it was often horses that took shape on her sketch pad. Falabella bears traces of this personal background,
and the name is borrowed from the world’s smallest horse, which is also said to be unusually friendly and
wise. “The stool shares similar qualities. It’s user-friendly, dainty and light, and easy to like. And at first
sight, you also know this will be the start of a long-lasting relationship,” says Maria Olofsson Karemyr,
Brand Manager at Offecct.

Falabella A tribute to the craft
by Lucy Kurrein
A brand new stool from Offecct, Falabella is a tribute to the
craftsmanship and love of a carefully chiseled solitaire. Designed
by Lucy Kurrein, Falabella is a neat and lightweight piece of furniture
with a personal shape and a name borrowed from the world’s
smallest horse.
Offecct and Lucy Kurrein have previously collaborated on the Lucy
sofa, which is a generous and inviting modular sofa with accessories
such as power sources and side tables. The Falabella stool is something
completely different; a small, neat and lightweight stool made of
molded plywood, sculptural in its expression and easy both to move
around and to like. “Falabella is based on a design idea that I have
carried with me for a long time, ever since my studies. Although the
product may look straightforward and simple, it puts high demands on
