VNA Stool

The Alps have their own special character, nature and man are in a direct relationship. The power of nature is present and tangible: extremes give rise to a microcosm. Plants cling to rocks and need little nourishment. The phases of the seasons are intense and barren. The lovely mountain flower defies the adversities of nature with its lightness. The essentials

take centre stage.

Furniture for the Alpine region focuses on the conditions, materials and culture of the Alps. Appreciation, identity and a conscious use of resources lead to characteristic furniture, which was originally built and used directly on the mountain pastures.

Stabelle is a typical chair of the Alpine region. In the Alpine region, there is an under-standing of design that is not tied to nationalities; an environment that is characterised by nature. A chair with a backrest was assembled from planks and posts using the simplest of means. The legs and backrest are inserted into the stool-like seat.

The design thematises the “put together” as well as the penetration and merging. Contras-ting and soft contours refer to the wood structure and create a harmonious image.
