Description
Overview
Hinge Stool is a stool designed by Francesco Rota in 2012. Its character is one of discreet elegance and comfort, and it has a metal base under a curved upholstered seat.
Construction
Turned steel forms the base, finished with epoxy polyester powder coating, while a frame of curved poplar plywood shapes the seat. Polyurethane foam padding is wrapped in a resinated, needle-punched non-woven polyester fibre, which is bonded to a polyurethane velveteen backing. The seat covering, in fabric or leather, is removable in full once the seat is unscrewed from the structure, and adjustable plastic glides sit under the base.
Specifications
W x D: 49 x 35 cm.
