Orchid

Orchid is an interplay of geometry, minimalism, and functionality. Designed to address the challenge of slanting legs within a twisted cube structure, it utilizes minimal material to create an elegant yet robust seating solution. 
At its core, the Orchid Stool embodies durability and utility by leveraging the strength of materials used and its structure. Crafted with only three components and a single hardware piece, it emphasizes simplicity and ease of assembly. This modular design not only ensures sustainability but also makes part replacement straightforward, extending the stool’s lifespan. 
The base structure is engineered for strength and weather resistance, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor use with minimal maintenance. Powder coating adds resilience while offering a range of customizable colour options to match diverse aesthetics. Complementing this is a fabric seat, available in a variety of materials and colours, ensuring comfort and versatility.
