Bjork Low Stool by Design House Stockholm. Bjork Stool is a piece of furniture that is light and soft in its expression.The expression in the woven structure comes from the black and white trunk of the birch and the leather represents the inside of the bark.
The colour tones of Bjork create a marbled effect through a warp of cotton intertwined with a weft in wool, known not only for its softness, but also for its built-in resistance to soiling.
