Kanso

Kanso is a stool designed around the Japanese principle of simplicity through the elimination of the unnecessary. A gently moulded plywood seat sits atop a restrained square-tube steel frame, creating a design that is straightforward, robust and quietly confident. The construction deliberately avoids superfluous detail, allowing the character of the materials and the clarity of the form to come to the fore.

Available in low, counter and bar heights, Kanso adapts to different ways of living, working and gathering. Its uncomplicated construction combines established materials and manufacturing processes to create a dependable stool for everyday use. Designed to complement rather than compete, Kanso has an understated presence that allows it to sit comfortably within a wide range of interiors, from domestic kitchens to cafés, restaurants and busy workplace environments.
