Ribbon Stool

The Ribbon Stool is composed of continuously flowing ribbons of laser-cut metal. A recipient of the Red Dot Award, iF Products Design Award and Furniture Design Award, this stool is made of sheet metal derived from a single sheet, folded to give the impression that it is twisting and folding at the ideal height to ensure maximum stability.

The Ribbon stool range includes high and low versions, available in matte lacquered finish in white, red, black and mud. For added comfort, the seat can also be equipped with a magnetic cushion, padded with polyurethane foam and covered in a selection of leathers and fabrics from the collection.

Ribbon was designed by Nendo. Since 2002, under the guidance of architect Oki Sato, the collective of professionals united under the name Nendo has come to represent a cultured and refined alternative to the self-celebratory and self-referential design scene. In fact, the Japanese word, “Nendo”, means “clay” and the work of the studio, spanning from interior design to the world of furnishings and graphics, is meant to express the image of the flexibility and ductility of matter. Among the products Nendo has created for Cappellini, is the double-sided Drop bookshelf family, the Peg series of elements, the Koeda and Tuta coat hangers, the Ribbon stools and the Bambi desk, all of which were a great success. In just a few years, the Nendo’s signature objects have already received important international accolades.
