Description

New Works' Atlas stool borrows both its name and its look from ancient Greece. The stool, designed by John Astbury, got its appearance from Greek architecture and its classical order, and the name comes from the titan called Atlas. And indeed, the legs of the chair are just like the titan's shoulders, which, according to mythology, were destined to hold up the heavens for eternity. The solid legs and thin seat create a striking contrast that will charm in the home living room as well as in public spaces.

The Atlas stool is made of oak, with natural wood grain that creates a charming vivid pattern on the top, making each chair a unique work of art.

John Astbury

John Astbury is an English-born, Swedish-based designer with a versatile background as an anthropologist, boat builder and musician. Astbury graduated in 2011 from industrial design at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design and established his own studio in Stockholm in 2014. He finds inspiration from archetypes and origins and describes his work as a "process of uncovering narratives and symbols within the object and making them visible".
