New Works Atlas Stool Wood

New Works presents a collection at the intersection between old and new. Light and dark. Design and art. Their work pays homage to the strong Scandinavian history of craftsmanship and materiality, whilst challenging the contemporary forms of today. They collaborate with an international group of renowned designers and artists, who display a matching fascination with sculptural forms and honest materials. These collaborative pursuits convey their love of the sensual, and of the bold. Named after the mythical Titan condemned to hold up the heavens on his shoulders, the solid legs of the Atlas Stool stand strongly as support for the rounded seat. The meeting and contrast between the legs and the seat is central to the design, where each element exaggerates the other giving the stool its distinct presence and brutalist feel. For Atlas, John Astbury has taken inspiration from several influences in architectural history. There are references to porticcoes and colonnades, but Atlas builds mainly on the archetypal post-and-lintel construction. Combined with simple geometry, the circle and the square, it is the primary archetypes that together create the stool's character and composition. The Atlas Stool can fulfill many different purposes, acting as seating or side table, and enriches a space as a stand-alone piece.
