Stool (Germany)

This is a stool. It was designed by Wilhelm Koch. It is dated 2004 and we acquired it in 2008. Its medium is steel, rubber. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.

This stool is proposed for acquisition due to its interesting combination of materials. The hard sheet steel construction contrasts with the rubber that forms a bladder, holding a cushion of air.

This object was donated by Irwin R. Berman and Linda Berman. It is credited The Linda and Irwin R. Berman Stool Collection.
