About the Stool:
Solid is inspired by the traditional milking stool, reinterpreted in a contemporary distinct sculptural piece of furniture with a strong sense for craftsmanship and comfort. The square seat is made from solid ash wood using a complex CNC process and then reworked by hand. The gently curved and hand-turned legs take up the character of the seat and give the stool a consistent and unique appearance. The robust yet refined solid stool invites to be touched through its beautiful expression of solid wood materials. The specialty of the bar stool versions is the hand-made rungs, which are arranged at different heights in order to always allow comfortable sitting for people of different heights. Stools are available in three different heights and come either in natural ash or black-stained finish
