Story
A stool for short or long sittings
Fat bar stools are crafted from moulded foam and wrapped in upholstery by experienced craftsmen. Their shape is designed to hug the body, giving comfort for short or long periods.
Reclaiming the word fat
Tom Dixon took mid-century and 1970s geometric shapes as his starting point. His aim was to make fat a positive word, putting comfort first and following it with volume and approachability. The stool was designed in 2019.
