Su Collection
Domus Green September 2014 (pp 62-63).
-Designer Oki Sato collaborated with manufacturer to produce a versatile stool, suitable for both indoor as well as outdoor. (public)
-Inspired from the iconic 1006 navy chair (produced for the first time in 1944 for US marines).
-From the Navy Chair he re-used the seat and made us of recycled aluminium for the legs of the chair.
-The seat is made out of a range of different materials; cork, oak wood that he got from demolitions of old buildings, recycled PET and Eco-friendly concrete.
-He did not want to mix up too many materials and also removed every superfluous element from the design because he wanted to keep the stool as simple as possible, hence the name 'Su', meaning simple/plain in Japanese.
-The seat is one whole piece that can be replaced by a simple coin to unscrew the support as seen in the first picture above.
-The legs were specially design to make the stool stack-able.
