| DESIGN NAME: Axis Stool PRIMARY FUNCTION: Stool INSPIRATION: We wanted to use the latest machining technology and the intricate craftsmanship that the Japanese are known for to create the most minimalist stool possible. We also wanted to reduce shipping costs by creating a stool that the user can assemble on their own. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An elegantly minimalist stool fashioned from sleek metal rods. Using a CNC lathe and the skilled hands of veteran machinists, we fabricated the finely tapered solid stainless steel and brass rods one by one. The resulting piece is a timeless stool whose aesthetic beauty has been maximized by a dedication to minimalism throughout the entire process. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The enduser could build this stool themselves. It is a simply way to build, they only screw each part together. And also, it can be dismantled for transportation. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2015 in Fukuoka, was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2015. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
