LUSTO Counter Stool LAPALMA

LUSTO Counter Stool LAPALMA by Karri Monni

The idea behind the design springs from observing roots joining to form the trunk of a plant (hence the name LUSTO, which, in Finnish, refers to the rings of a tree trunk). Likewise, the legs of the stool rise upwards to converge and reach the seat, with its original rounded square shape. The powder-coated metal footrest echoes the profile.And if proposed as an accessory in a different colour finish, it brings a touch of originality to the ensemble. Ideal for contract environments, such as corporate spaces, restaurants or offices, it can also be used in the home, in the kitchen or as an informal seat for home office spaces.

LAPALMA LUSTO Collection – Modern Workspace and Lounge Design

We observe them, we admire them, we walk and breathe among them and we feel better. They are the trees, they are nature’s most complex and meaningful structure. Karri Monni was inspired by this inexhaustible vitality and beauty when he designed LUSTO, a new stool that fits beautifully into Lapalma’s forest/catalogue. First of all the name, in Finnish the circle that marks in the trunk the progress of the years. And the design also speaks of natural growth, which gradually brings together the bases, accommodates the “circle” of the footrest and opens into the foliage of an extremely comfortable seat. In two versions, natural and black, without declaring joints but developing into a continuum of roots, trunk and branches, LUSTO is a tribute to nature. And every moment spent in its company, at home, in a restaurant, in an airport café, is a small circle that adds to the pleasure of our conviviality.

The Lapalma style is international by nature: our designers come from all over the world, each one bringing their own personality and vision. All of them, however, are united by a design culture that strives towards balance, simplicity and essential detail that is never decorative or an end in itself, but always provides an elegant and harmonious overall look.
