Description

The stackable Beetle Stool is an ode to the wondrous creature that drew De Wit deeper into his exploration of organic forms represented in his work. From a combination of material experiments and the need for a multifunctional object, the stool was designed with subtle and suggestive lines. Three legs and a seat were individually extracted from a stainless steel sheet, then folded, welded and polished. Finally, the work is heat-treated (290-600°C) to extract the organic and ever changing color from the material resulting in a polished beetle-like color striation.
