Rolf Benz 6500 Stool: The Design Icon. This stool belongs to one of the world's most famous upholstered furniture systems. The 6500 model (often designed by Mathias Hoffmann) is a timeless classic, renowned for its exceptional seating comfort and distinctive aesthetic. The stool is upholstered in high-quality black leather. The cushion appears full and taut, reflecting the durability and quality of the material. The design is largely defined by the frame: The base: The stool rests on a striking frame made of matte chrome-plated tubular steel. The construction consists of two curved brackets connected by crossbars. The look: This exposed metal construction lends the piece a technical elegance and makes the generously sized cushion appear to float. The comfort: The seat is gently curved, emphasizing the ergonomic design of the 6500 series and providing an ideal place to rest your legs. This stool is not just a footstool, but a design statement in its own right, combining stability and elegance.
