Ribbon Stool

Design Nendo, 2007
Varnished laser-cut, folded metal
Made in Italy by Cappellini

Continuously flowing ribbons of laser-cut metal compose the Ribbon stool by Nendo. A recipient of the Red Dot Award, iF Products Design Award and Furniture Design Award, this stool is made of sheet metal derived from a single sheet, folded to give the impression that it is twisting and folding at the ideal height to ensure maximum stability.

Under the direction of architect Oki Sato, the group that gathers under the name Nendo has represented a cultured and refined alternative to self-celebrative design since 2002. “Nendo” means “clay” in Japanese; the job of the Nendo group in the field of interior architecture, furniture and graphics is to be as pliable and flexible as clay. In just a few years and running on a big personality and unmatched determination in the field of modern design, Nendo has already received several international credits.

The Ribbon stool range includes high and low versions, available in matte lacquered finish in white, red, black and mud. For added comfort, the seat can also be equipped with a magnetic cushion, padded with polyurethane foam and covered in a selection of leathers and fabrics from the collection.
