STOOL. Henry van de Velde Label

— 2014

ENG
STOOL was designed in 2010 as part of the interior of the artists' dressing rooms at DeSingel in Antwerp. But it has also become part of many other interiors.
STOOL's design falls back on the archetype of the milk stool, which is part of the collective memory. STOOL captures this historical form in a new interpretation.
The oak seat assumes a typical two-dimensional directionality by extruding a slightly curved profile. This gives STOOL a distinctly stubborn frontal character. By combining several stools, STOOL can transform into a bench.

STOOL received the Henry van de Velde Award in 2014.

2. STOOL is part of the furniture series and installations designed for arts campus deSingel since 2004. They start from the architecture of the building itself, designed by Léon Stynen. The space is built up around perspectives and compositions of golden section proportions.

1. In 2014, the furniture for deSingel was selected for 'MOBILIA, 100 years design by Belgian Architects', an exhibition focusing on the talent of architects whose work evolved beyond the design of buildings, to the creation of furniture and objects.

2. In 2015, STOOL, together with PRELUDE, was part of the exhibition 'De Nieuwe Oogst. Well Seasoned', in Gallerij Design Vlaanderen, Brussels.
