Zig Stool: A Unique Design Inspired by Zen-like Peacefulness and Gerrit Rietveld

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -- /DESIGN/newswire -- Oct 24, 2019

Introducing the Zig Stool, a two-year project by Jules S. Jaffe, realized in La Jolla, CA, USA, and awarded the prestigious A' Design Award in 2020.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zig Stool: A Fusion of Zen-like Peacefulness and Gerrit Rietveld's Legacy

Jules S. Jaffe's Zig Stool pays homage to Gerrit Rietveld while infusing a Zen-like peacefulness with the tension of a cantilever, creating a unique and inspiring sitting device. The stool encourages upright and meditative sitting, catering to artists like guitarists and cellists with its stable yet free-moving design. Its triple mitered joint, a unique feature, provides exceptional stability and strength while maintaining a feeling of lightness and tension.

The stool, measuring 505 x 185 x 180, was meticulously crafted in maple over two years, overcoming technical and engineering challenges to achieve a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The absence of screws or metal parts underscores the purity of materials, a prime consideration in its construction.

The project, executed solely by Jules S. Jaffe, showcases the designer's dedication to creating functional items that embody both beauty and practicality, culminating in a design that harmonizes ancient concepts with modern engineering.
