Maritime objects fascinate because of their contrasting surfaces.
The roughness of corroded wood aging with beauty, blended with the industrial efficiency of metal structures.
This is the inspiration behind the Raft Barstool, created by NORM architects Kasper Rønn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen.
They have taken a modern Scandinavian approach to create a unique piece of furniture that combines simplistic purity with a discreetly aged look.
The position of the legs allow for two seating positions, either with a single leg forward or two. The flat seat also makes the stool equally useful as a side table.
