Tubular Stool

The O.F.I.S. Tubular Stool is perhaps the most minimalist and honest expression within the entire Objects From Interstitial Space collection. By reducing the furniture typology to its most basic form, the design team was able to focus entirely on the material's inherent qualities: its curvature, its structural strength, and its industrial finish. The stool utilizes the shortest L-shaped sections salvaged from ventilation systems, creating a compact yet incredibly robust sitting tool that functions as both a functional object and a sculptural pedestal.

The construction logic of the stool follows the same strict parameters as the rest of the O.F.I.S. family. The studio treats the galvanized steel sections as "found artifacts," assembling them with exposed mechanical hardware that celebrates the engineering behind modern climate control. There is a deliberate lack of "hiding" in the design; every bolt and every seam is visible, reflecting the studio’s belief in radical transparency and circularity. Because the piece is entirely dismountable, it embodies a low-energy manufacturing process that relies on human assembly rather than intensive industrial reshaping.

Despite its rugged origin, the Tubular Stool offers a surprisingly refined presence in an interior space. The design team carefully selected the sections to ensure a balanced silhouette that plays with the negative space created by the hollow tubes. In a world of over-designed and over-processed furniture, this stool stands as a quiet protest—a piece of "industrial archaeology" brought into the light. It serves as a tool for activation, prompting the user to question the origins of the objects they interact with. Whether used as a standalone seat or as a supporting module in a larger interior landscape, the Tubular Stool remains a core example of how the studio finds beauty and utility in the "interstitial" spaces of our technological world.
