Unique Properties
The title poinT reflects the structure's essence: point for minimal contact, and the final T for the triangle. Composed solely of triangles, this stool pursues a refined visual tension. Three legs support each other at minimal contact points, achieving an elegant equilibrium that seems to defy gravity. The soft curves of the plywood add organic softness to the geometric form, while the intentional space between the seat and legs creates a sense of lightness.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 340mm x Depth 340mm x Height 455mm

Production Technology
This stool is crafted from molded plywood, achieving both structural strength and delicate curves. To maintain visual purity, custom made metal connectors designed specifically for this triangular shape are used at the joints. These connectors are precisely concealed within the structure, making them nearly invisible even from gaps, thus preserving the space's sense of openness. A minimal clear finish highlights the natural wood grain and the refined layers of the plywood.
Design Challenge
The primary challenge was maintaining the aesthetic of floating while ensuring structural integrity. Specifically, to preserve the open gaps, the joints needed to be concealed, but this proved difficult with standard tools. To overcome this, I handcrafted custom metal connectors tailored to the unique triangular shape. Ultimately, this allowed me to overcome technical constraints and keep the original intuitive vision vividly alive within the final functional beauty.
Research
I was drawn to the beauty of the inverted triangle, pursuing a form that achieves stability with minimal contact points. Rather than relying on complex calculations, I discovered through the process of carefully engaging with the wood that natural balance emerges in the quiet moment when the angle simply settles into place. This research suggests the possibility that a designer's intuition can give form to a poetic harmony that cannot be fully explained by numerical data alone.
Inspiration
This project draws inspiration from the intrinsic beauty and structural balance inherent in triangles. By incorporating an inverted triangle into a functional stool, I aimed to achieve both a light appearance and stable practicality. The intentionally created spaces generate a quiet, airy presence without feeling heavy. These gaps allow the stool to blend naturally into its surroundings, creating a refined harmony that coexists comfortably with the space.
Project Duration
The project started in June 2025 and ended in January 2026.
Operation Flow
This stool is designed for simple, intuitive use in daily life. Its defining feature is the opening between the seat and legs. This allows your hand to slip in naturally, making it easy to carry the lightweight stool. Additionally, the angled triangular legs enable efficient stacking for storage. By combining these practical elements, it offers a convenient experience in any space while maintaining a sculptural beauty.
