JOINERY AS FORM — DOVETAIL STOOL / 3-LEG / OAK

The Dovetail Stool is designed by Staffan Holm for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. Its name references the dovetail joint — one of the oldest and most revered techniques in woodworking, celebrated for its mechanical strength and the precision required to execute it. On the Dovetail Stool, this joint is not hidden but celebrated, becoming the defining visual element of the design. The 3-leg version in oak has a lighter, more sculptural quality than its 4-leg counterpart — a tripod form that sits with precision on any surface and reads as much as an object as a piece of furniture.
