The stool is made from a type of plastic called PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) which is rather unusual in the furniture industry. Previously, the most common use for this type of plastic was for insulation in the electronics industry because it is very strong and it is resistant to both heat and solvents. The metal structure of the stool has been crafted from steel originating from the Umbrian town of Todi.The stool is available in three heights: tall (perfect for a breakfast bar), low (it becomes a backless chair) and medium.

INFORMATION
Research in the field of design is constantly driven by new shapes, technologies and materials. The BCN stool is the result of one of these explorations, carried out in collaboration with the designer Harry-Paul It all started with a shape, an ergonomic and sinuous seat, followed by choosing a technology and a material that are uncommon in the furniture sector: PBT, a plastic that is both strong and flexible. This led to one of our iconic products, a stool that is now available in various versions: high, medium or low with a slide-frame base, with beech wood legs or with a height-adjustable structure. The seat and the bases are available in a variety of colours.

ABOUT
The BCN plastic stool was the result of exploring how new materials can be used to create furniture. The main feature of the stool is the design of the seat. The seat was ergonomically designed by specialists to maximize comfort. The final shape required a huge developmental effort during the design phase.
