Coupe 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 stripping archetypes down 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 straightforward character of the Coupe designer stool. The black version is made of carbon steel, while the steel finish is available in stainless steel. In both versions, the material perfectly complements the clean lines and precise geometry of the design.

Where to place a 46-cm-tall stool?

At 46 cm tall, the Bowl qualifies 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 excessive 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 of its volumes. In both cases, the simplicity of the Coupe stool makes it easy to pair with various materials and interior designs.

Is the Bowl stool sturdy?

Its all-steel construction gives it a sense of solidity that is consistent with its generous proportions and solid Base. The design description also emphasizes this impression of materiality 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.
