Ax

The AX stool evokes the moment when a log, struck by the woodcutter's ax, splits in two. It is the temporalcrystallization of a gesture translated into a clean and extremely marked form.

Designed by Alessandro Stabile, Ax is a stackable stool with graphic purity that transcends time, suited to many different spontaneous situations from domestic spaces to contract environments.

The split that characterizes AX suggests its grip for moving and stacking. An ideal complement as informal seating in restaurants and bars or in exhibition spaces and contexts such as libraries and bookstores to quickly set up a talk area or to be freely placed in home interiors. 

Made of ash plywood, it is available in five shades: alongside natural and black, blue, green, and red, that add a pop touch. 

Design: Alessandro Stabile, 2024
