ROB Barstool
ROB barstools are coming in two heights. They are upholsted and stackable, thanks to its slender steel base construction. The design combines genuine character with an unmistakable sense of form. The rear legs seem to strive upwards to become one with the seat shell, forming a unity that is the defining characteristic of the series.

WORK
STUDIO
Design means everyday culture. It helps us to enjoy and simplify life. We are fascinated by the process that starts with an idea, becomes substance and hopefully results in a long and pleasurable use for its qualities. That’s how we understand reasonability and sustainability.

It was founded in 2007 and is running today by Moritz Böttcher and Nikolaus Kayser.
