that add a pop touch . Meticulous details embellish the stool and increase its functionality , such as the split that continues into the seat and is perceived in the slight inclination of the wood , creating a refined chiaroscuro movement . There is also an internal construction system which , when stacking the stool , prevents it from sliding down , thus protecting the wood from excessive rubbing and wear to ensure its durability over time .
MULE :
Archetypal benches with zen vibrations
The Mule project is a family of ash benches whose milled solid wood sides enhance the sculptural linearity imagined by Alessandro Stabile .
“ The skilled craftsmanship enhances the richness of the material and generates a noble object , composed of two suspended monoliths that support the seat ,” the designer explains . “ It ’ s a sort of small temple that , with its solid continuity , conveys a sense of calm and seems to slow down the perception of time in the observer , inviting them to sit for a break in the flow of daily life .”
Mule can also be interpreted in many different ways , from a temporary seat , perfect for contract use in a showroom or store , to a domestic surface to be moved as needed in the living room for a book or cellphone . In the bedroom , it can serve as a bedside table or valet stand , or in the bathroom as a storage space . The bench is available in two sizes — 60 and 120 centimeters — in a refined organic and intense palette : olive green , smoke , and rust red , in addition to the classic black and natural ash .
AX AND MULE :
Beyond the common concept of seating , AX and Mule are two iconic projects that blend intuitive simplicity and craftsmanship rooted in the territory , delicately entering the domestic landscape and collective spaces with their timeless forms .
