Unique Properties: The design emphasizes the supple lines of the product through its simple, waste-free construction. The contrast between the organic lines and the heavy luster of the metal is striking. When placed alone, it has the beauty of a sculpture, and when multiple pieces are placed, it has the beauty of regularity like an architectural structure.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 356mm, Depth 445mm, Height 808mm
The two cut-out frames are fixed with round pipes and decorative nuts. Simple assembly makes it possible to deliver in a compact package.
Tags: stool, high stool, simple, organic, bone, counter chair, counter chair,
Production Technology: The legs are made of 6mm metal plate, and the seat is made of 3mm stainless steel plate, cut by advanced laser cutting technology. 2 frames are connected by round pipes and fixed with decorative nuts. The seat is made of bent stainless steel sheet and upholstered with leather. The advanced metal laser cutting technology has succeeded in presenting a beautiful frame.
Design Challenge: I propose a new style of "show frame" by cutting out a sheet of metal. Our advanced metal laser cutting technology has made it possible to create a "show frame.
Research: A high stool has a high seat, which gives a light tension to the person sitting on it and attracts attention from others. I believe that a high stool needs to have a sculptural beauty of its own. I created a high stool that is beautiful just by sitting on it.
Inspiration: This high stool has a dynamic, organic form. The lines of the legs are inspired by an animal that kicks its way through the ground, and the thin seat is inspired by standing hair that flutters in the wind.It is a high stool that makes you look beautiful, as if you were sitting on the back of a supple animal running at full speed.
Project Duration: Designed in 2020, prototype produced in 2021.
Operation Flow: It is made so that you can feel the elasticity of the metal as it sinks when a person sits on it. The legs are cut out of metal sheets, so they are sturdy and have moderate weight. While it looks light, it has a low center of gravity and a sense of stability.
