Chair Stabelle Berlin
The chairs design is made up of just the most basic elements: four legs, a seat, and a backrest. On the classic Stabelle chair, the seat and backrest are made of flat wooden boards. This makes it simple in appearance, but also in its ergonomic capabilities.
Stabelle Berlin takes on the simplicity of this design principle but adds an ergonomically effective fold to the seat and backrest.
The simple board chair thus becomes a contemporary piece of seating furniture. It is compact and mobile like a stool and surprises with its back support.
The use of wide, fine-grained regional silver fir and the deliberate mirroring of the wood grain along the chair's axis of symmetry highlight the craftsmanship that went into its production and make the Stabelle Berlin a discreet and elegant companion.
