Spoon

Overview

Kartell credits Spoon to Antonio Citterio with Toan Nguyen, and its data sheet dates it 2007. The product page calls it an original stool with a shape as elastic in appearance as it is in function.

Construction

The sheet gives the material as batch-dyed and painted polypropylene. According to the page, the seat is attached to a central support with a specially reinforced curve for flexibility and comfort, and a gas lift pump adjusts the height between 56 and 76 cm.

Specifications

• Dimensions (code 4828): W 52 cm x D 44 cm x H 96 cm (top of the height range)
• Weight (code 4828): 7.36 kg
• Colours: White, Black

Flexibility built into the seat

Kartell's page puts the innovation of Spoon in how the seat is attached: it is joined to a central support with a specially reinforced curve, which is meant to guarantee flexibility and comfort. A sophisticated design solution lets the gas lift pump slide inside the stem.

A concealed handle

In the same way, the page says, the handle that regulates the height mechanism is perfectly concealed inside the seat, so the lever does not interrupt the lines of the stool.
