The Tilt bar stool shows how a simple intervention can create comfort and stability.
Within the basic components from which a wooden bar stool is usually constructed, Floris looked for a simple way to make a straight, hard surface pleasant to sit on. By tilting the wood of the seat and legs at a 3 degree angle, he created both a surprisingly comfortable seat and a solid stability in the construction of the legs. The placement of the footrests ensures that every user intuitively knows how to sit on this bar stool to experience its unexpectedly pleasant seating position.
The bar stool is made from solid PEFC certified oak and produced in the region of our studio in Eindhoven. For protection and durability, the seat and footrests are treated with Osmo hard wax oil. The frame of the stool is standard available in untreated oak for a natural look. Optionally, the frame can be treated with a lacquer in four standard colours, a custom colour on request or with Osmo hard-wax oil, giving all surfaces the same finish.
It is now also possible to order a custom height, we will then make the stools to measure by sawing off a piece at the bottom of the legs and then rounding them off again. Please indicate the desired height in the checkout.
Since the stools are made in the Netherlands, custom colors are also possible, please contact us for order.
