The elegant and impressive solid wood stool ATLAS is made from solid oak and was named after the mythical Titan "Atlas", who was condemned to carry the heavens on his shoulders; the massive legs of the Atlas stool support the seat. The meeting and contrast between the legs and the seat is a central element of the design of this exclusive stool, where each element surpasses the other, giving the stool its distinctive presence and impressive aura.

For Atlas, John Astbury was inspired by various influences from architectural history. There are allusions to porticos and colonnades, but Atlas is primarily based on the archetypal post and lintel construction. Combined with the simple geometry of the circle and square, these are the primary archetypes that together form the character and composition of the table.

Designer John Astbury

John Astbury's design studio was founded in 2014 and is located in Stockholm, Sweden. After previously studying anthropology in England, John Astbury completed a design degree at Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design, in 2011. Starting from archetypes, his work reduces the object to its fundamentals, exposing material, structure, and form. A language of absolute simplicity that simultaneously reveals the dialogues and symbols surrounding the object.

• NEW WORKS

• New Works wurde von Nikolaj Meier und Knut Bendik Humlevik aus dem Wunsch heraus gegründet, ein Designhaus zu gründen, in dem Design mit Sorgfalt und Absicht zum Leben erweckt wird und in dem es Raum für kreative Experimente gibt - ein Ort für neue Arbeiten. Während Nikolaj als CEO mit Zahlen und dem Tagesgeschäft jongliert, ist Knut Bendik als Creative Director für das besondere Erscheinungsbild verantwortlich. Gemeinsam mit einem kleinen, engagierten Team machen sie sich auf den Weg, eine kuratierte Kollektion gehobener, aber dennoch zugänglicher Wohnobjekte zu definieren. Mit diesem Ziel gestalten sie die sich ständig weiterentwickelnde Geschichte von New Works.
