Designed for HAY by Erwan Bouroullec, the Traverse Stool is part of an outdoor furniture collection designed to naturally blend in wherever it is placed. Comprising a die-cast aluminium frame with slatted seat in heat-treated ash, the stool combines a robust construction with an inviting expression that naturally patinates to make it more beautiful over time. With its well-balanced aesthetics and multifunctional design, the Traverse Stool can be used with other Traverse furniture in a wide range of private and public spaces.
Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec were born in Quimper, France respectively in 1971 and 1976. As soon as Ronan graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs, he began working alone, progressively assisted by Erwan, still a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Cergy Pontoise. Their collaboration is a constant dialogue, nourished by their single identities and strived towards a common goal. They met Giulio Cappellini in 1997, while showing the Disintegrated Kitchen at the Salon du Meuble in Paris. This was the starting point of a regular cooperation that gave birth to various projects.
