They say home is where the heart is. In this sense stabellen chairs have been at the heart of countless family homes, chalets and rustic taverns in the German-speaking alpine region for centuries. Japanese designer Tomoko Azumi has re-interpreted this classic chair design by mixing innovation with tradition. Stabellö’s unique look makes it a versatile candidate for contemporary lofts, trendy bars as well as a traditional mountain chalets. Take a seat and feel at home.
The connection between the solid wood seat and 3D moulded plywood backrest has been changed, so it does not require any screws. By incorporating this small modification, the chair has a more traditional look and does not require any metal parts for structural stability. Using a tried and tested adhesive construction, it features increased stability, while still giving the backrest the needed flex for improving seating comfort.
Tomoko Azumi is a Japanese product designer, currently living and working in London. Her route into furniture design took her from a degree in Architecture in Kyoto, via the Royal College of Art to the setting up of her own TNA Design Studio in London in 2005. Her background has clearly influenced her aesthetic sense: a Japanese awareness of shape, expressed simply and gracefully, but with international appeal. Tomoko Azumi won the iF Product Award in 2007 for At-At.
