The design is made up of three constituent parts that fit together: two paddle shaped plywood pieces and a length of stick with a round profile. The round stick in the middle connects the seat and the back parts, but is most of all the backbone of the design and its strength.

These rare chairs were manufactured in very limited numbers due to the production costs and difficulties. Only 150 of these chairs were produced. Apart from its low production numbers the other reason that so few exist is because they can easily get damaged - Due to the stool's fragility we recommend that it should be purchased by a design lover that appreciates its sculptural qualities rather than its functionality!
