Story
Beer crates as a starting point
Normann Copenhagen explains that Let Barstool and Stool were designed with clear references to the parallel wood planks of traditional wooden beer crates, drawing on the bar environments they are intended for. Aspekt Office's aim was a distinctive, easy expression that suits any surrounding.
Easy and light
The name is the Danish word for easy and light and refers to the humble nature of the collection's aesthetic. Despite its visual lightness, the page says Let is crafted using solid wood, so the design stays solid and durable.
