Entry Description

Aluminum propeller products have X-shaped legs when opened and become a single frame when closed. The Propeller stool is easy to carry.
Since Danish designer Kaare Klint created the wooden propeller stool in 1930, it has been redesigned using stainless steel and steel rods. We chose aluminum alloy, which has a high recyclability rate, as our material. Using cutting technology on a multi-axis NC lathe, we precisely carved a 24mm aluminum round rod into a propeller shape and combined it with a leather seat. After use in the living room or garden, simply fold it up to save space.
