Cleo is a clever solid wood stool with a fun, joyful character. Bar and counter-height versions allow the collection to be used in a wide range of interiors and applications. Cleo's backrest is shaped in a perfect semicircle, so that when several chairs are placed in a row, they form a pattern reminiscent of the archways and decorative motifs of classical architecture.The construction follows a clear visual logic that appears deceptively simply yet conceals several innovative details. The seat is produced as a single piece of bent plywood with a subtle curvature for comfort while maintaining the design's geometric rigor.

A graduate of the Bergen Academy of Art and Design, Stine continues to live and work in Norway's west coast city of Bergen. Stine debuted on the Norwegian design scene just a few years ago, and since then, has produced a range of furniture and interior accessories that industry insiders describe as ground-breaking. Some say Stine remains true to the Nordic tradition of wood craftsmanship; others say she has set a new standard for the craft. Stine's eye for color is unique. She works with finishes that echo design trends, but more importantly, chooses tones that bring out the product's personality.

The solid wood frame features a clever in-set joint between the back rail and legs for added strength, while a concealed handle-scoop is incorporated on the underside of the top rail so the stool is easy to pick up and move. Contract quality. BIFMA compliant for commercial use.
