The Bon Stool is a multifunctional piece of furniture that was initially designed for use in the kitchen. Bon is small enough not to get in the way of the small kitchen space and is shaped to be placed against a wall. The seat is high so you can sit on it while you cook without lowering your gaze too much. The flat seat can serve as a "stand" to put small objects on or spread a book. The simple shape of the product allows the stool to be used in different ways in different rooms. The height can be adjusted by shortening the legs. Thus, the bon stool can also serve as a side table next to, for example, a sofa.
A seemingly simple design that, on closer inspection, displays extraordinary details and craftsmanship in the joinery. The goal was to design a stool that harmonized linear and curvilinear details while using minimal elements without compromising on strength. The result is a user-friendly and product-friendly stool.
