Named after its unique adjustable backrest, SIA, meaning movement, is a lightweight timber stool that is slender in design yet uncompromising in comfort. Shaped from solid natural timber, the curved seat and articulated back is contrasted by a minimal steel frame that supports the sculptural timber elements and allows for a convenient stackable design. While originally conceived for the dining room, the Sia stool is perfect for both commercial and residential applications.
