barber & osgerby piton fixed height stool
Design Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2015
Die-cast aluminum, stainless steel, wood
Made by Knoll
A new collection of stools designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby for KnollStudio offers a relaxed, contemporary attitude toward interior design. Taking cues from the aesthetic principles of Modernism and pragmatic considerations of stools manufactured for sewing professionals in the mid-century era, the Piton Stool and Table are equally well suited for industrial tasks and domestic settings.
The geometric, elementary framework of the pieces is an interpretation of the familiar tripod structure; the conical base, unified by two concentric rings, guards against the potential for imbalance caused by an uneven floor, equally distributing weight so as to counteract the tendency of the stool's three-legged counterpart to wobble. The die-cast material is equally resilient to abrasions and dents.
The Barber & Osgerby Piton stools feature a robust cast aluminum base finished with a highly durable powder coat paint in a variety of colors. Please note: the painted aluminum and teak seats are approved for outdoor use when used on the fixed height stool only. The Piton stools are available with a fixed or adjustable height base.
