Commissioned by Vij5, Floris Hovers designed this bar stool for the official Dutch Design Week Business Lounge in 2018. Now, the stool is introduced in the Vij5 collection in a brandnew colour selection.
The Tilt bar stool shows how a simple intervention can create comfort and stability. Within the basic components from which a wooden bar stool is usually constructed, Floris looked for an easy way to make a flat, hard surface more pleasant to sit on. By tilting the wood of the seating and the legs in a 3-degree angle he created both a surprisingly comfortable seat as solid stability in the construction of the legs. The positioning of the footrest makes sure any user intuitively knows how to take place on this bar stool to experience its unexpected comfort.
The bar stool is made of solid PEFC certified Oakwood and produced in the region of our studio in Eindhoven. For protection and durability, the seating surface and footrests are treated with Osmo hard-wax oil. The frame of the stool is standard available in untreated Oakwood for a natural look. Optional it can also be treated with lacquer in four standard colours, a custom colour on request or with Osmo hard-wax oil to have all surfaces in the same finish.
