Steelwood is a radical assemblage of two traditional materials, forming a simple and comfortable chair. Unlike most of its plastic siblings, it is aimed to become more delicate through time, acquiring a patina over the years. Its silhouette and curvature, which is achieved through an elaborate stamping process, makes it an easy stool, adaptable to a variety of spaces.
