18" Oat Upholstered Round Stool
Oat Upholstered Arch-Form Stool with Open Base | 18 Inch | Ottoman
The form is a single upholstered arch: two thick square legs rising from the floor with a rectangular opening between them, the top a flat padded seat running the full 18-inch square, the corners rounded softly. No separate legs, no exposed frame, no visible hardware. The continuous oat upholstery wraps every surface except the arch void. From the front it reads as a small architectural object at floor level -- the negative space between the two legs as deliberately considered as the solid form above it.
At 18 square and 17.75 high the stool sits at a low-seat and ottoman height: a footrest for an adjacent lounge chair, a coffee table object at the low end of a sofa, an occasional seat in a reading corner. What the arch base does that no conventional stool base would: it makes the negative space part of the composition. The rectangular void is proportioned to balance the solid form above -- the gap reads as architectural geometry, not as legs leaving room underneath. As a room object this reads with the same resolved character from every angle.
In oat the form reads as the quietest version: pale polyester-linen blend letting the shape's architectural quality carry the visual interest without color competing. In warm lamplight the oat surface picks up warmth across the rounded corners, the arch void reading as a shadow pool at the base. The plywood frame provides the structural rigidity required to hold the arch geometry intact over time. Foam and fiber fill in the seat surface. At 27 pounds it moves easily. The common mistake: treating this as a purely functional piece. It reads as a design object and earns a position in the room where its silhouette is visible.

Moe's Home Collection:Forty Years of Furniture With a Point of View
Some brands earn trust loudly. Moe's has never needed to. The evidence shows up in rooms, season after season, in pieces that end up feeling more considered than their owners quite anticipated. More grounded. More alive.
That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone decided, a long time ago, that material and craft were worth the extra conversation, and never really stopped having it.
A Design House, Not a Furniture Factory
The Pieces Feel Found - Not Simply Bought
The Origin
A Family That BuiltSomething From Nothing
Moe Samieian Sr. arrived in Canada with an engineering degree and almost nowhere to use it. So he sold rugs at road shows, worked on commission, and learned the retail floor through years of direct customer contact.
In 1986 he opened his first store in Vancouver. Walking the trade shows, he kept noticing the same thing: most furniture looked identical. So he started hunting for pieces with something to say. Antiques. Flea-market finds. Objects with texture and history. More stores followed, and in 1999 he moved decisively into wholesale.
His children Sara and Moe Jr. carried that instinct forward. Not what merely sells. What resonates. That distinction still drives every collection.
The materials earn their place. Wood warms the edges. Stone steadies the eye. Steel adds tension. Glass lets the composition breathe. A hand-worked surface keeps a modern room from feeling too resolved.
The goal was never perfection. It was presence.
Moe's Is Built for PeopleWho Notice the Difference
The Craft
Material First - Trend Second
Every collection is designed in-house, then built through a manufacturing network developed over decades. Vietnam, India, Italy, Poland, Canada, the USA. Not the lowest-cost option in any of those places. Long-term makers who've been held to the same standards long enough that the standards stopped needing to be explained.
The construction is what you'd expect from that kind of relationship. Solid hardwood frames. High-density foam. Hardware that doesn't announce itself by failing early. These are not selling points so much as baseline expectations that a lot of furniture quietly fails to meet.
The materials go further than that. Acacia grain that no engineered surface comes close to replicating. Stone that grounds a room both visually and physically, which are different things and both matter. Mixed metals chosen for tension rather than coordination. FSC-certified wood and responsible sourcing throughout, though the more honest argument for it shows up over time, in how the pieces age rather than what the spec sheet says.
- Moe's does not source furniture. It curates it.
