About Linking Stool Kindersitzmöbel

Der Linking Stool ist ein lehnenloser Sitz, der für den Einsatz im Kindergarten konzipiert wurde. Die Sitzfläche ist rund, besteht aus Teakholz und misst 400 mal 245 mal 230 Millimeter. Eine Verbindungsplatte und eine Kopplungsachse werden in Bohrungen im Sitz eingesetzt, sodass mehrere Elemente schnell zusammengefügt oder wieder getrennt werden können. Inspiriert wurde das Verbindungssystem von einer Fahrradkette. Zusammengefügte Sitze ermöglichen es Kindern, dicht beieinander zu sitzen und um eine Erzieherin herum zu spielen. Zudem sorgt der Entwurf für eine geordnete statt verstreute Sitzanordnung und erleichtert die Beaufsichtigung von Gruppenaktivitäten.
