DON'T MISS A THING

A sculptural masterpiece, a love story, and a tribute to haute craftsmanship, the Mandy Stool by KOKET is more than just a piece of furniture; it is a symbol of passion, artistry, and bold design. As KOKET celebrates the 15th anniversary of the brand and Mandy’s debut, this iconic piece returns to where it all began—ICFF New York—a full-circle moment for the luxury brand that first captivated the design world in 2010.

A Love Story in Design & Name

The name Mandy carries deep personal significance for KOKET’s founder, Janet Morais. Short for Amandio, the affectionate nickname Janet uses for her husband, Mandy is a tribute to the love and inspiration that fuels her creative vision. This connection infuses the piece with a sense of intimacy and meaning, making it not just a design but a story in itself.

Beyond this personal touch, the name Mandy also aligns with KOKET’s tradition of naming pieces after strong, alluring women—each design embodying the spirit of confidence, elegance, and sensuality that defines the brand. Whether a muse, a memory, or a source of inspiration, these names give each KOKET creation an identity as bold as its design.

Jewelry-Inspired Elegance

Mandy was born from a passion for jewelry design, and its influence is unmistakable. The stool’s fluid, sculptural brass base evokes the sensual curves of a statement cuff bracelet. Bold yet delicate, strong yet refined. Like the most exquisite pieces of haute joaillerie, Mandy transforms metal into something alluring. It was first introduced in a silver finish with a black velvet seat cushion at ICFF New York in 2010. The very first Mandy Stool found a home with Loren Ridinger of Market America, a testament to its immediate allure among tastemakers and empowering women.

Mandy’s Evolution: From Stool to Statement Collection

From that first show-stopping stool, Mandy has evolved into a full-fledged collection, embodying the same striking aesthetic in a chair and a sofa. Each iteration carries the original’s DNA—sculptural elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and a sensual energy that defines KOKET.

15 Years of Seductive Design

Now, 15 years later, Mandy returns to ICFF New York in April 2025, evidence of its enduring power as an icon of luxury design. More than just a stool, Mandy represents KOKET’s bold beginning, its fearless approach to craftsmanship, and its ability to turn emotion into tangible beauty.

As the design world gathers once again at ICFF, Mandy stands as a reminder of KOKET’s unwavering mission: to seduce, inspire, and empower through statement-making design.
