Bit Stool - Stack

Bit is an aesthetically pleasing, versatile stool with countless possibilities for your home. The straightforward, utilitarian look contrasts with the pixelated surface made up of small bits of 100% recycled household and industrial plastic. Use Bit as a pedestal for a floral arrangement, as a side table for a lamp, or as impromptu seating for that unexpected dinner guest. A particular process, where plastic fragments are heated to a 120°C melting point, makes it possible to repeatedly reuse and reheat the material without altering its properties. The result is a stool design with a distinctive thickness and composition, making every Bit a bit unique.

With its playful shape and fascinating array of hues, Bit will bring a sense of personality to any setting. Bit stool is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, withstanding temperatures from -10°C to +50°C. Add some panache to the store window, lobby or hotel room or invite Bit into your home to brighten up your living room, balcony, or the children’s bedroom. Wherever you decide to place it, Bit will bring a smile to your face.

Designer
Designed by Simon Legald.

Simon Legald graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the summer of 2012. His work consists of both small- and large scale products. Simon's designs are often created in a dialogue between craftsmanship and industry. He also likes to incorporate the techniques that are necessary for the structure of a product into the design by highlighting them visually.

"Honesty is what makes a product understandable and is what describes the products functionality. If you understand the product, it does not need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore, it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects and makes them trustworthy. In my design, I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression."
