Minus stool is inspired by sculpture, an art form steeped in antiquity, has birthed innumerable masterpieces through the ages. Our forebears crafted exquisite shapes and curves from massive stones, showcasing their artistic prowess. This ancient method of expression, with its tangible and direct approach to creating beauty, has deeply inspired the designer.



The Minus stool embodies a distinctive design philosophy, crafted by selectively subtracting from a basic cubic shape. This approach yields a minimalist form that speaks a language of simplicity while boasting elegant and fluid surfaces. Beyond its visual appeal, every subtle surface change has its ergonomic intent: a lower curve offers a restful place for the feet; an upper indentation enhances the seating experience; and a scooped back allows for effortless handling.
