【Design Committee Selection Comment】
A shape that invites you to sit down. Compared to its sculptural, solid presence, the impressive stacking efficiency made possible by its thin material comes as a pleasant surprise. Serving well in public spaces, this stool remains fresh even when brought into a home or office. It carries an indisputable presence, persuasion, and originality that says, "It couldn't be anything else."
