Created by Iskos-Berlin, Just is a sober and discreet collection, but with a strong character and personality. Designed as an extension of the chair, the Just stool has inherited its distinctive elements: the distinctly tapered seat, as well as the slender steel leg. The latter is discreetly embedded in the moulded seat to make this seat a coherent, harmonious and natural whole. This Normann Copenhagen bar stool, as light as it is comfortable, is perfect in contemporary kitchens.
Founded in 2010, Iskos-Berlin is the result of a long-standing partnership between Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos. The studio's work lies at the crossroads of industrial design, furniture and graphic design. Over the years, their fruitful collaboration has enabled them to develop and share the same design philosophy. "We see design as the art of storytelling. This history is normally relatively complex, made up of semantics, morphology, materiality, the technology that makes up the objects and other elements. But the clearer your story, the more likely people are to understand it. And the more surprising your story, the more likely they are to remember it. And finally, the more you make people smile, the more likely they are to like it," they explain. "We seek to explore with new technologies and materials and understand the impact on everyday objects." The work of the duo Boris Berlin and Aleksej Iskos, who respectively graduated from the Institute of Applied Art and Design in St Petersburg in 1975 and the Institute of Industrial Design in Denmark in 1996, is exhibited in numerous museums around the world, including the MoMa and the Danish Design Museum. Their many collaborations with Normann Copenhagen, Hay and Muuto are testament to the scale of their success. Their iconic designs include the Fiber, Just Chair and Soft Edge seating ranges.
