Stool

Finnish design
Modern 3D-techonologies
Traditional carpenter’s craftmanship

Stools have been used for centauries as seats, but rarely as beautiful eye catching design products. So often has seating comfort been sacrificed in the name of design. Production was sole less and based on an assembly line.

A desire to fix this defect created a challenge to make one better. This sparked up design and testing as well as refining and observation on what kind of form factor enables a unique exterior without sacrificing seating comfort. Inspiration was derived from places where usage has been tested in extreme circumstances.

A stool was found, which has been molded to a peak state in heavy use, in a time, when the durability and functionality of products was self evident, without diluting artistic style. A stool which has been sat on for thousands and thousands of hours. A harvesters which tells this story was found. Hardman wants to shed light to this story; craftsmanship, beauty, creativity and persistence. This stool reflects the mindset of a Hardman; creative and talented, beautiful and durable, at is most genuine.

From the point when these hard men got their hands on this metal harvester seat, many periods of time have passed. There has been planning, testing, molding and observing of matters, from which metal changes into wood all the while respecting the original, bringing it yet again into use worthy of its stature. To be sat on for thousands of hours, as a durable and beautiful piece of furniture to meet the needs of modern consumers.

 
 

Stool - HARD features

The stool has been manufactured and designed in Finland. Due to its design, which has been modeled from an old harvester seat, the stool is very comfortable to sit on. The stool works very well around a dining table during the weekdays as well as on special occasions, as a interior design element. In the future the plan is to refine the stool into a bench seated for several people. We have chosen a new surface treatment agent, with which the white and black colors are slightly more opaque than in the current pictures.

Stool’s measurements: width 48 cm, depth 38 cm, seating height 50 cm.
