Stan, Studio Raphael Klug (Raphael Klug), Cologne, Germany
Stan is a hexagon shaped stool in lacquered wood, measuring 430 by 350 by 350 millimetres. Three flat panel legs, lacquered in deep violet, meet at angled joints to support a hexagonal seat finished in teal with a thin violet edge. The panels read as folded planes rather than turned or joined parts, carrying the same flat geometry from legs to seat. No additional ornament breaks the six sided form.
SILCOHAUS reads the teal seat as a held note against a body built entirely in violet. The colour sits only on the top surface and its thin trim, so it announces itself the moment the stool is seen from above and disappears from every other angle. That single placement keeps the teal from competing with the violet, the two colours divide the object rather than blend into it. A stool this geometric earns its personality from where the second colour is allowed to sit, not from how much of it there is.
