It began with an impression reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich, if it were not anchored in modernity: the young Dutchman Joop Couwenberg observed fishermen taking rubbish out of the sea. Endless tonnes of recyclable material collected to be processed, pressed and shaped into new forms. The idea of extending the life cycles of a product impressed him and he used it as the driving idea for his new object: the cantilever stool.
The material the industrial designer and graduate of the Eindhoven University of Technology chose was not plastic, however, but soft, warm cork, which normally crowns wine bottles as a closure. Couwenberg collected corks, found a social institution in Belgium during his research that shredded the material and began experimenting.
For the curved tubular steel frame, Couwenberg, who founded his studio in Tilburg, Holland, in 2014, was guided by the functional approaches of Bauhaus. He was fascinated by the idea that had already captivated designers from Mart Stam to Marcel Breuer: the idea of floating, which was combined with the contrast of rigid seating and resulted in an oscillating piece of furniture: the cantilever chair.
In the triangular shape of his steel frame, he was consciously guided by the idea that the furniture should be stackable and at the same time take healthy sitting into account.
