Bowl Stool: Simple Geometry with a Distinctive Character

With its round seat, central leg, and circular base, the Bowl stool strips furniture down to a few essential lines. John Astbury conceived the design from a deliberately naive sketch consisting of a vertical line intersecting three horizontal lines. A basic construction inspired by the sleek silhouettes of cocktail glasses and Champagne cups.

A silhouette stripped down to the essentials

Bowl features a particularly clear geometric form. With a diameter of 40 cm and a height of 46 cm, it is a designer stool with balanced proportions, whose solid volumes contrast with the simplicity of the design. Despite its bold presence, the precision of its proportions lends it a certain visual lightness.

This pursuit of simplicity echoes the work of John Astbury. Based in Stockholm, the designer creates objects by reducing archetypes to their fundamentals. Material, structure, and form thus become the primary elements of his creative language.

Steel at the Heart of the Design

The metal construction reinforces the deliberately bold character of the Coupe design stool. The black version is made of carbon steel, while the steel finish version is crafted from steel. In both versions, the material perfectly complements the clean lines and rigorous geometry of the model.

Where to Place a 46-cm-High Stool?

At 46 cm tall, the Bowl is classified as a low stool. It can thus complement a living space as an occasional seat, around a suitable table, or as part of a seating arrangement where a compact, graphic seat is desired. Its 40-cm diameter allows it to maintain a strong visual presence without adding unnecessary structural elements.

Which finish should you choose for the Bowl stool?

The black version further highlights the model’s monolithic silhouette and graphic design. The steel finish emphasizes the materiality of the metal and lends a brighter interpretation to its proportions. In both cases, the Coupe stool’s simplicity makes it easy to pair with various materials and interior styles.

Is the Bowl stool sturdy?

Its all-steel construction gives it a sense of solidity that is consistent with its generous dimensions and solid base. The design description also emphasizes this impression of material and volume, balanced by the precision of its geometry. Since no maximum weight capacity is specified in the provided information, it is best not to cite a specific weight limit.

Straddling the line between a functional object and a geometric composition, Bowl captivates with a simplicity that never seeks to fade into the background. A stool with a basic yet instantly recognizable design, capable of bringing a clear and lasting graphic presence to any interior.
