Atlas stool, espresso
Description
New Works' Atlas stool borrows both its name and its look from ancient Greece. Designer John Astbury drew inspiration for the shape of the seat from the columns of Greek architecture, while the name of the stool comes from Atlas, the titan of Greek mythology. And it's a fitting one, as the legs really do resemble the shoulders of the titan sentenced to hold up the heavens. The sturdy legs and square seat create a striking contrast that works beautifully as extra seating or as a side table. A glossy dark finish gives the Atlas stool even more character and brings out its remarkable form.
