New Works, Atlas Stool Round

A classic shape reimagined through colour and high-gloss lacquer, the Atlas Stool collection extends the original design with new forms and finishes. Defined by offset legs and generous silhouettes, the collection interweaves the circle and square through both the original four-legged form and a softer, rounded variation with three legs and a circular seat. Available in Espresso, Burgundy, and Crème, the Atlas Stool works equally well as a stool or side table. The lacquered finish brings depth and reflection to the form, lending the collection a more vivid presence.

Named after the mythical Titan condemned to hold up the heavens on his shoulders, the solid legs of the Atlas Stool stand strongly as support for the rounded seat. The meeting and contrast between the legs and the seat is central to the design, where each element exaggerates the other giving the stool its distinct presence and brutalist feel. For Atlas, John Astbury has taken inspiration from several influences in architec tural history. There are references to porticoes and colonnades, but Atlas builds mainly on the archetypal post and-lintel construction. The Atlas Stool is an anywhere, anytime piece, which can be placed wherever you need a smaller surface and double as a side table when needed.

Safety Precautions
High-gloss lacquered furniture has a delicate surface, so scratches may occur during everyday use.
