The Weave stool creates volume out of hollow spaces!

The Weave stool creates volume using metal strips and hollow spaces

It almost looks like the Weave Stool has strips wrapped around an invisible air-balloon! Designers Hyeongkwon Lee, Sanghee Yoo & Seong Bin Kim took inspiration from the motif of Korean traditional handicraft called ‘Jukbuin’, a type of bolster/cushion made by using a unique structure of overlapping layers in three directions.

The Weave replaces those bamboo pieces with black metal strips, giving the stool much more strength, durability, and even flexibility. Mounted on a metal tripod frame, the Weave stool looks and feels incredibly light and inviting, with the way it creates a sense of mass and volume out of practically thin air!

Designers: Hyeongkwon Lee, Sanghee Yoo & Seong Bin Kim
