Contemporary bar stool Tilt

oakoak base4-legged

The Tilt barstool shows how a simple intervention can create comfort and stability. The wood of the seat and legs is simply tilted at an angle of 3 degrees to create a comfortable seat and solid stability in the construction. The positioning of the footrests ensures that every user intuitively knows how to sit on this bar stool in order to experience an unexpectedly pleasant sitting posture. The Tilt Barstool has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2019. Commissioned by Vij5, Floris Hovers designed this barstool for the official Dutch Design Week Business Lounge in 2018. The stool was created in a relatively short period of time and is the result of a joint effort by Floris, Vij5, and our local wood producer. The stool owes its name, but also a unique look & feel, to the fact that the wood of the seat and legs is tilted 3 degrees. In consultation with Floris we gave the stool fresh colours after the Dutch Design Week and added it to the Vij5 collection. The Tilt bar stool is made of solid PEFC certified oak and produced in the region of our studio in Eindhoven. For protection and durability the seat and footrests are treated with Osmo hard-wax oil. The frame of the stool is standard available in untreated oak for a natural look. Optionally, the frame can also be treated with a lacquer in four standard colours, a custom colour on request or with Osmo hard-wax oil so that all surfaces have the same finish. In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.
