The Offset Stool is an unusually crafted, yet beautifully designed bent plywood chair. The stool itself is flat-packed and cleverly designed by Italian designer Giorgio Biscaro.
Interestingly the seat is made from several slices cut from a single piece of bent plywood assembled to give a layered effect. These layers in turn sit on three legs. The tri-lobe shape of the seat though unusual, is just right to provide extra comfort. The stool is also comfortable regardless of the height of the user.
After thoroughly researching bent plywood as a viable manufacturing material, Biscaro worked on the optimal use of the wood and obtained through a repetition of layers bent at the same angle – a simple yet attractive design.
Biscaro’ s Offset Stool will showcase at the Salone Satellite Milan, along with the works of various other young designers from all over the world.
