Not on view

The Sella Stool, comprised of a bicycle seat assembled with a metal tube over a base, does not fall into any archetype of seats. It does not allow a person to be properly seated, rather it was made to allow the user to half sit and half stand while talking on a wall-mounted telephone. In this way, the stool contributes to the wide range of innovative designs developed by modernist architects and designers, by questioning ways of living and using daily objects.
