Stool, Side table
Combines form, material, and mechanics, offering stable seating despite seemingly precarious angles. It creates a captivating contrast between perception and experience, using warm wood and sturdy metal to challenge expectations of balance. Named "%" to symbolize the significance of proportion in its design.
A Study in Proportion and Precision
The “%” stool redefines seating by emphasizing asymmetry, balance, and tactile contrast. Designed as a sculptural object as much as a piece of furniture, it challenges the viewer’s expectation of stability through proportion. The design draws inspiration from nature, material contrast, and architectural form—resulting in a minimalist, yet expressive visual identity.
Crafted Through Collaboration
Manufactured in Taiwan, the stool is a product of close collaboration between designer, artisan, and fabricator. The production process involves precise metalwork, custom wood joinery, and refined finishing, all executed with deep attention to proportion and tactile detail—embodying a commitment to both aesthetic and craftsmanship.
