The Simple Stool from Kristina Dam Studio intersects two curved wooden panels beneath a circular top, creating triangular voids that lighten the profile while maintaining structural strength. This crossing method allows the wood grain to flow continuously across each panel surface, with the natural patterns creating variation within the uniform geometry. The lacquered oak construction emphasizes the material's inherent character through the joinery system. The interlocking assembly requires no additional hardware, relying instead on precision-cut connections that hold the curved supports in their crossed configuration for multiple seating heights.
