Design Stool with Artfully Folded Tree Bark Seat

What makes this modern tubular steel stool unique is its seat, which is artfully folded from strips of natural birch bark to create a three-dimensional-looking geometry. Combined with the steel lacquered in selected colors, the result is a charming and friendly looking seat of excellent manufacturing.

The Siberian birch bark (more on its low-impact harvesting below) is comfortable, sturdy and easy to care for. Color-accented stitching and connecting pins reliably secure the seat weave and round out the lively design. Finishing takes place in workshops in Germany and Austria.

Due to the individual color and grain of the birch bark, the seat turns out slightly different in color and arrengement for each individual stool.

The frame of the stool is powder coated in one of the following colors:
 

•     Gray: Graphite gray RAL 7026
•     White: Cream white RAL 9001
•     Pink: Beige red RAL 3012
•     Mint green: White green RAL 6019
•     Neon orange: Luminous orange RAL 2005

There is also a higher bar stool to match this stool – see below.

Information about the birch bark used

The birch bark comes from Tomsk in Siberia, where due to the climate the birch trees form a much thicker and stronger bark than in Central Europe, and where its harvesting and processing has a tradition of craftsmanship that goes back thousands of years. The top layer of bark is carefully removed from the trees once a year. This layer grows back, the tree is not seriously damaged and continues to live. It is not necessary to cut the trees.

Mainly the inner layers of the bark are used, which is why the finished products have a natural light brown color and not the typical white color.

Further manual processing of the bark material is done by local Siberian craftsmen.

The birch bark is non-allergenic and therefore not a problem for birch pollen allergy sufferers.

The surface of the bark is naturally water and dirt repellent and can therefore be cleaned with a damp cloth. It does not otherwise require any special care, even in the long term, provided that it is not exposed to extreme heat or cold.
