Description

Mater's Alder stool, designed by Patricia Urquiola, is a minimalist yet sculptural piece where a chunky, column-like base meets a softly rounded seat. Subtle grooves flow across the surface and sides, adding rhythm and a tactile touch.

The Alder collection is crafted from Matek, a biodegradable material made from recycled plastic and wood fibres. Its matte finish, richly textured surface and earthy tones make the series easy to pair with a variety of interiors, while the durable, easy-care material shrugs off everyday knocks and splashes.

  • Length: 36 cm
  • Width: 36 cm
  • Height: 44.2 cm

  • Colour Terracotta
  • Material Matek™ biodegradable plastic and coffee shell waste or wood waste
  • Frame material Inner frame: 94% recycled steel
  • Weight 9.2 kg
  • Notes For indoor use.
    Made from natural
    materials so each piece is unique and the appearance may vary from item to item. A slight change in colour over the years is also to be expected.
    Matek™ furniture has a distinct smell when first
    unpacked, but this will fade after a few days of use.
  • Care instructions Dust the surface with a soft cloth. The surface can be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents and harsh detergents, as these may damage the surface.
