Boet Stool High & Low

This is Boet (meaning Nest in Swedish), a stool inspired by the birds' home among the trees. Elevated, protected, carried by a strong tree, you find the soft, rounded shape of the nest.The contrast between materials with different functions creates dynamics. Metal in different colors signal strength and tone. In the metal bowl a soft shape of cork to sit on, warm and welcoming. The nest always feels like home. In connection with our design concept for Johan & Nystrom's (www.johanochnystrom.se) new showroom in Helsinki, we needed a stool with strong character for the café in a high and a low model. The old port warehouse, where the café is located, is sturdy and heavy in brick and rough wooden beams. With this we have furnished with lots of color and a mix of unexpected materials, where Boet has a natural place. Boet will be shown for the first time at the COUPLICITE exhibition during Maison et Objet in Paris 2011.
