REFINED OUTLINE — OUTLINE BAR STOOL / OAK - LEATHER & FABRIC

The Outline Bar Stool is designed by Norm Architects for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. Sharing the same precise, graphic silhouette as the Outline dining chair, the bar stool extends the collection to kitchen islands, bar counters, and elevated dining settings. This version pairs a warm oak frame with an upholstered seat in leather or fabric — combining the natural warmth of oak with the tactile comfort of an upholstered cushion for a bar stool that is as inviting as it is considered.

DESIGN: Paolo Cappello & Simone Sabatti.

Ozz becomes light and stone. He moves from domestic intimacy to the center of the house, showing himself as the protagonist of the space with a large arch that draws attention to himself. The design begins in the concrete and ends in the lampshade. In the middle, the stem flexes with a scenographic parabola that lets the light fall.
