Sequoia

The project name of our ‘Sequoia’ bar stool was ‘Forest’, as the division of the stem into two tubes reminded us of a solid branch growing out of tree trunk.‎ Sequoia has a clear recognizable, unified graphical outline - it reminds us of a calligraphical character.‎ The foot rest has the shape of a foot plate.‎ This gives a certain freedom of movement: it’s like we’ve lifted a segment of the floor.‎ To us, the similarity in shape between the seat and foot rest is an important feature as it makes more meaning of the branch like division of the stem.‎ We looked into various material technologies before we landed on a construction that is inspired by how bicycle frames are put together.‎Two fixed height.‎Materials: steel painted in polyester powder.‎
