The CLUSTER STOOL is a simple, easy to move object for sitting on, and it stacks neatly away without the need to be hidden. A group of CLUSTER stools looks “on purpose,” and pleasing to the eye. It belongs to a canon of utilitarian, Modernist stools and looks like the kind of ultra-functional object you may find in a Japanese onsen – a design that may have existed unchanged for centuries. It is stark, but the dip in the seat and the rounded taper of its four legs is elegant and sculptural.
