Rails 450 Functional Sculpture Lacquered Stool - Graphite Black

About the Item

A modern system for fluid living. RAILS® is a unique concept that bridges the gap between functional design and art. Inspired by a railway track section, the functional sculptures are playful, graphic, and ergonomic. They can be stacked on top of one another to form a column, multiplied to form a hexagon, or separated to become a stool, chair, coffee table, or side table. They can be accessorized with cushions or table tops to give a new function. The pieces can lie horizontally or vertically or combined to create a bench, wall, or landscape or used simply as a striking standalone art piece within a room. The units can be built up or broken down – a symbol of our fluid and mindful approach to our material surroundings. We are each on a unique journey and the endless configuration opportunities of these pieces remind us that there are often many paths presented to us in life. Handmade in Europe by specialist artisans, each piece is made from plywood and built as a boat hull, resulting in a surprisingly lightweight, easy-to-handle feel. Available in a range of colours, finishes include metal brass, lacquer, marble, and wood. The patented modules are available in three sizes at standard seating heights: 450, 550, and 750mm. They can be bought individually or in multiples.
