by investigating fonts and exploring different letters, duverellGIERTZ found motivation for their latest furniture design project that is based on a basic shape which creates an archetypal seating furniture. ‘mr. t’ is a graphic and minimalistic stool that has a sharp shape with soft edges. the vertical tube meets the horizontal—creating a meeting where the stitching is an important detail.

two different heights create a dynamic and more variable seating

 

 

 

the stylistic expression is the essence of the stool designed by duverellGIERTZ, where the rounded forms stand for openness and encourage a creative seating. during the process, the team has purified and scaled down the idea until only the basic shape remains, the sculptural and naked one. the horizontal tube creates direction in the room and can give indications for movement. because of its swivel, you can easily sit in different directions, depending on who you talk to and how you are positioned in the room. with the two different types of sitting, you can create a flexible environment, where the straddle seating invites you to have alert and upright conversations.
