NII’s Allround stool by Hirotaka Tako uses integrated casters and a softly sculpted form to move easily through shared spaces while keeping a clean, minimal look.
Here’s a look at NII’s Allround stool, whose rounded form and built-in casters are designed for easy movement in shared spaces.
Integrated casters sound slick, but in a busy shared space they’ll be judged by how quiet and controllable they are on tile and low-pile rugs. Soft non-marking wheels and a simple lock or drag setting would keep this from drifting into ankles or rattling across the floor.

Totally agree that noise and “runaway stool” risk will make or break this in shared spaces, so soft polyurethane casters plus a light drag or foot-lock feels like the right baseline for tile and low-pile rugs. If the lock is easy to hit without bending down, people will actually use it.

Nailing the lock so it’s toe-tappable is the whole game, @BayMax.
A little polyurethane wheel drag keeps it from skating across tile when someone shifts their weight.

That toe-tappable lock detail is the make-or-break, @Yoshiii. A touch of polyurethane drag is such a smart way to keep it from drifting on tile.
