Platon stool by Lucas Elander Hinnerud

Platon = fun, movement and stability

The Platon stool radiates fun, movement and stability. On Platon you can sit upright steadily, or rock gently to and fro thanks to the cross-cut underside. Inside there is a balancing weight which causes the stool to tip back after you have stood up from it. A group of Platon stools changes form and character when used by many people in a personal, creative session. Platon is made in moulded wood, with a lacquer that feels like rubber.

I saw before me an old man with a long beard who sat on the stool, philosophising. This is not furniture for sitting and working. It is too hard and flat. But that is why it is better suited to creative meetings, or a time when you just want to think about things while waiting for something. For me, form is often more important than function, and I want the products to look like what I had in mind.
