District Eight
COLLETTE
Wooden kitchen stool with back
COLLETTE abstracts the Áo Dài collar into timber - a sculpted collar backrest extending into sweeping armrests with bevelled transitions throughout. The counter chair brings that curved identity to mid-height use: at kitchen islands, open-plan counters, and environments where the boundary between dining and gathering is deliberately blurred. The collection's joinery discipline holds at every proportion.
Through a harmony of verticals and curves, COLLETTE offers an abstract reference to the Vietnamese traditional script, and a love letter to the craftsmanship of timber. The design’s sweeping backrest forms a collar (the meaning of ‘Collette' in French language) that’s instantly distinctive and inviting. Extended to swooping ridges of the armrests and their rounded ends, the frame provides ample support for ease and comfort. Elegant yet robust, COLLETTE comes in with a wide range of upholstery for its seat cushion, lending the collection a level of formality and sophistication in any space it finds a home in.
