Alu Cast Stool is a minimal stool created by Bram Vanderbeke for Leolux. By meticulously studying the relationship between objects and their surroundings, Vanderbeke ensures that each piece interacts seamlessly with both its users and its environment. A hallmark of Vanderbeke’s work lies in his material choices. In his recent venture for the Leolux Viewpoint Collection, he delved deep into the attributes of recycled cast aluminum. This exploration gave birth to the Alu Cast Stool, a piece where the rugged, unrefined finish of the metal stands out, yet without appearing ostentatious. Interestingly, this versatile stool isn’t confined to seating alone; it doubles up as a petite table. With a triangular connection of its three robust legs, the stool has a subtle tapering form. This design choice facilitates stacking in two distinct ways—either vertically aligned or with a slight twist to interlock the legs. Highlighting the stacking aspect, Vanderbeke notes its architectural significance. Much like the layers seen in many buildings, stacking introduces a rhythmic pattern, harmonizing the design with its ambient setting.
