Description from the seller

This "Poêle Low Stool", a masterpiece designed by Philippe Starck for Alessi, is a testament to Alessi's mastery in working with steel. The title's reference to the "pan" pays homage to Alessi's century-long legacy of crafting top-tier tableware and kitchenware. This "Poêle Low Stool" exemplifies the fusion of craftsmanship and innovation, showcasing a surprising fluidity in the steel that gracefully envelops the wooden elements.

With a distinct identity, the "Poêle Low Stool" emanates a formal lightness that effortlessly integrates into diverse environments, be it a residence, office, or high-end contract furnishing projects. It caters to design enthusiasts aspiring to cultivate sophisticated atmospheres, appreciating the luxury of formal details in both accessories and furnishings.

The stool's design offers two distinct formal interpretations: a light and sleek design for the wooden structure and a soft, organic aesthetic for the seat. The sophisticated dark finish on the wooden elements, unveiling the inherent grain, enhances the amalgamation with the steel shell. Serving as a versatile furnishing element, it proves ideal for accommodating last-minute guests at the table or adding an elegant touch to the bathroom.

This functional furnishing complement adapts to various uses, boasting an original and elegant design capable of harmonizing with settings of different styles. Its linear design exudes surprising power, striking a balance between minimalism and undeniable charm. This "Poêle Low Stool" stands as an object that transcends mere utility, ensuring that users never tire of both utilizing and admiring its enduring appeal.

Alberto Alessi stated the following about the ''Poêle Low Stool'' :
"I’ve always seen furniture as a bordering territory to Alessi’s original one, in which I’ve always wanted to play. I've been working with Philippe since the ‘80’s, and he’s designed for Alessi some masterpieces that have marked the history of Design. Also because of this, I chose him to take this decisive step in this fascinating stool."

- Fitted with protective feet, to preserve even the most delicate floors from damage and ensure safety during movement and everyday use.
