Tones by Sylvain Willenz "A playful take on the stool in its most basic representation. A seat, three legs and a refined match of colors, together with elaborate details all revisit this essential everyday basic in a very simple yet vivid manner."

Colour stool by Scholten & Baijings "This stool is a response to the way of sitting in Japan: Space-saving and handy. It conveys a feeling of spaciousness. It is a contemporary version of archetypical furniture, created by means of a highly skilled woodworking technique and with a minimal precise application of transparent and vivid colors."
