Defies Gravity. Defines Style.
It’s not just a stool—it’s a masterclass in balance.
Originally imagined by Gerrit Rietveld in 1934, the Z-form of the Generation Z Your Way Stool challenges the idea that stability needs four legs.
With two precise folds and structural wood wedges hidden in the angles, this sculptural form turns gravity into its ally.
The tension? Perfectly calculated. The result? A geometric silhouette that stands firm yet looks like it floats.
It’s how design becomes timeless—by daring to do more with less.
2 Colors. One Bold Statement.
Minimal in shape. Maximal in impact.
Whether you opt for deep black or rich caramel brown, each tone transforms the Generation Z Your Way Stool into a bold visual anchor.
The black says refined edge—modern, clean, and architectural. The caramel brings warmth and retro elegance—inviting without shouting.
Two colors. Two moods. One unmistakable design language.
Whatever your interior style, this stool doesn’t just match—it makes the room.
Gerrit Thomas Rietveld
Designer
Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888–1964) was a Dutch furniture designer and architect renowned for his contributions to modernist design. A key figure in the De Stijl movement, Rietveld's work emphasized abstraction and geometric forms, influencing 20th-century design significantly.
Designed in 1934, the Zig Zag Chair is an iconic piece that exemplifies Rietveld's innovative approach. Crafted from four flat wooden slabs, it forms a Z-shape using dovetail joints and metal screws, eliminating traditional legs and arms. This cantilevered design challenges conventional furniture structures and showcases Rietveld's minimalist aesthetic.
Stability That Stands Out. Style That Stands Alone.
There’s nothing accidental about the Z.
Crafted from premium rosewood, the Generation Z Your Way Stool uses its bold silhouette not just to turn heads—but to hold weight. Every edge, every angle, plays a role. The sculptural Z-shape isn’t a design gimmick—it’s the engineering that gives this stool its unexpected stability.
With its natural wood grain and warm tone, the seat feels as good as it looks—solid, smooth, and supportive. A form born from physics. A finish made for comfort.
Engineered on Purpose. Balanced by Design.
Great furniture doesn’t wobble. It stands.
The Generation Z Your Way Stool uses the oldest trick in the book—triangular physics. Its sharp Z-line isn’t just visual flair—it’s the natural result of weight distribution and structural integrity. Every angle serves a purpose. Every joint resists pressure.
This isn’t about looking clever. It’s about staying solid—day after day, year after year. No creaks. No give. Just the satisfying confidence of something built to last.
No Screws. No Nails. Just Craft That Lasts.
True craftsmanship doesn’t need metal to hold it together.
The Generation Z Your Way Stool is built using time-honored mortise and tenon joinery—a method that’s held temples, barns, and heirloom furniture together for centuries. No visible screws. No ugly brackets. Just wood locking into wood with precision so tight, it feels like one solid piece.
The result? A stool that honors tradition, resists wobble, and proves: strength doesn’t always need steel. It just needs smart design.
