Personal Project

Inspired by the streamlined aesthetics of Bauhaus tubular furniture, this footstool marries industrial design with the softness of expertly crafted upholstery. The structure features sleek tubular steel, which gives the piece a dynamic, lightweight framework and an unmistakable industrial edge. The angular steel frame creates an interplay of movement and balance, embodying the modern, minimalist spirit of Bauhaus design.

Adding a striking contrast to the industrial form is a meticulously upholstered seat covered in clean white leather. This pristine leather not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also infuses the footstool with a sense of warmth and sophistication. The smooth, unadorned white leather perfectly complements the metal structure, creating a harmonious blend of hard and soft materials.

Together, the combination of the robust tubular steel and the elegant clean white leather upholstery results in a footstool that is both visually compelling and functionally comfortable. It stands as a testament to the Bauhaus principle of merging form with function, offering a modern piece that brings both style and utility to any space.
