Pelleossa is a slender, eclectic stool that expresses its character through detail. It is inspired by the Italian chairs of pre-industrial times, sporting the attitude of conceptual art. Also available with armrests.

Introduced in 2013, Miniforms revisited it with the rushed seat, an archetype of the vernacular tradition throughout the world. They use the checkered weave to rush the seat, a strong method that distributes the weight evenly across the surface. Pelleossa is destined never to grow old, paying homage to Chiavari chairs ancestral imagery.

Rushing a chair is like a sport, so the artisans say. A Pelleossa seat takes an hour and a half, about the same time as a football match, but instead of feet running around a field, here it is the hands that do the work. This is a team game, or rather a game played in pairs. The seat is set on a pedestal ready to start being dressed. Pelleossa becomes the artisans' model, and they move around it like tailors. After ninety minutes, the dress is ready. The energy is palpable. The weave is built up with a rapid, regular rhythm. Rushing has strong physical connotations, and if you don't wear gloves, it will leave marks on your hands.

The rushes are obtained from the canna indica plant, and they are very durable. The checkered weave is the strongest way to rush a seat, because it distributes the weight evenly across the surface. The weaving process is particularly complex and demands a combination of strength and absolute precision. The rushed seat is an archetype of the vernacular tradition throughout the world. With this new rushed version, Pelleossa seeks to pay homage to that ancestral imagery. A simple, sturdy object, destined never to grow old.

The Pelleossa Stool is also available in a dining version with or without armrests chair, and a rocking chair.
