ARC-o is a minimalist stool that transforms rigid wood and steel into a fluid, floating design. A bent birch seat hovers just above a sweeping frame of semi-gloss black tubing. From the front or side, the stool flattens into a single line, blurring the boundary between sculpture and utility. Its strength comes from that same fluidity; each curve works in unison to lock the form into place. ARC-o brings clarity, balance and structure into one continuous motion.
