Tripodal Stool - Made in Local Munich
Lightweight stool, composed in captivating simplicity by design studio Studio Adjective from Hong Kong.
Designed to be multifunctional, it can be used as a stool, side table or bedside table - a cable for a lamp or charger can conveniently be passed between the seats.
The project is a collaboration with the Japanese furniture label ISHINOMAKI LABORATORY, which designed a range of minimalist but functional furniture in 2011 following the earthquake in Japan, which has since become extremely popular.
SCHATZL manufactures the Tripodal Stool MADE IN LOCAL MUNICH in Germany, licensed by ISHINOMAKI LABORATORY.
A central aspect of the cooperation is a production according to the Made-in-Local concept: Furniture and objects are produced in small quantities from regional raw materials according to local craftsmanship traditions.
The stool from Munich is constructed along traditional joinery principles using only glued joints, it is made from warm local larch and contains no metal parts. A special scale derived from the golden ratio was developed for this version, which makes the stool appear somewhat slimmer than the original design.
The probably most fascinating feature is its brushed surface, as the resulting grooves create a surprising sensual experience. Brushing compresses the soft parts of the wood while the hard structures remain. Beyond the visual and tactile effect, this makes the wooden surface extremely robust. To emphasize the bright orange of the larch and protect the wood from stains, the Tripodal Stool is treated with a mixture of natural oils.
The robust and pleasantly graceful stool is a piece of furniture that is in every respect suitable to last for many years and to be restored if necessary.
The Tripodal Stool is handcrafted in small editions in the heart of the city.
