Tre di Bastoni and Knot Knees are two seating designs born from an\nexploration of solid wood as both structural material and expressive\nmedium.\nTre di Bastoni is a three-legged high stool offering two sitting option:\ndynamic and static. One of the legs functions as a pendulum, allowing a rhythmic oscillation when sitting astride the semi-cylindrical\nseat; when placed on the floor, the seat stabilizes. The project\nexplores the relationship between balance, posture, and concentration through an essential structure made entirely of solid wood.\nKnot Knees emerges as a more structural evolution of the same\nresearch. At the core of the project are three solid maple legs, each\ndefined by a central spherical deformation that acts as a structural\nnode: it supports the seat and extends upward to connect with the\nbackrest. The leather seat rests on these \u201cknotted knees\u201d, and it is\nthe weight of the body that secures the final position of the chair.\nStability is achieved through form and interlocking connections,\nreducing mechanical fasteners to a minimum.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
