Yeraz Kortun, an Interior Architecture and Furniture Design student from the Royal Academy of Art The Hague (KABK), presents W-Stool, a furniture piece that brings architectural structures into the scale of furniture.
W-Stool: Fully Demountable Aluminum Stool Design
The W-Stool aims to flip or even turn completely upside down the relationship between furniture and architecture which often gets perceived as linear. Inspired by the structural W-beams used in construction, the design questions the perception of architecture as permanent and fixed by translating its elements into a lightweight, fully demountable object. Through its construction, W-Stool explores how furniture can carry, reinterpret, and transform architectural qualities within the space it inhabits.
The W-Stool is composed of laser-cut aluminum components that can be easily slotted together without permanent fixings. Each element is designed for disassembly and reassembly, emphasizing temporality and adaptability. The use of aluminum allows for a lightweight yet structurally stable object, making transportation and installation straightforward also making the piece fully recyclable.
