Kristalia - BCN H76 stool on chromed sled

Research in the field of design is continuously fed with new forms, technologies and materials. The BCN stool is the result of one of these explorations, conducted in collaboration with the designer Harry-Paul. Everything started from a shape, an ergonomic and sinuous seat. So, the choice of an unusual technology and material in the furniture industry: PBT, a robust and flexible plastic at the same time. Thus was born one of our iconic products, a stool today available in different versions: high, medium or low with sled base, with beech wood legs or with height adjustable stem. The seat, as well as the bases, is available in various colors.
