That makes sense. I know this designer (Ragnhei?ur ?sp Sigur?ard?ttir) had nothing to do with the design of the stool itself - her thing is to take generic, mass-produced pieces and then make each one unique with embroidery. It makes sense that she would use IKEA stools, since they are mega cheap and she seems to have interest / issue with IKEA.In fact, she was involved in the Icelandic UN-IKEA design exhibition that L+L wrote about in January:http://www.landliving.com/articles/0000000547.aspx Oh, that?s an IKEA stool?

Unfortunately, it didn't work out too well since they put some type polyurethane (or ?) that prevented the wood from absorbing the stain. I still have them and was thinking about putting some walnut veneer on them instead. For $20, you can't beat the price!
