Oak spindle stool

By design, or even better, by workshop design, spindle stools are work furniture that fulfill a precisely defined purpose: to provide users with a flexible, adjustable seat height to give them an overview at work - at any table, for any height. The simple yet highly functional technical solution for this requirement is mechanical height adjustment via a threaded spindle. The formal design of such a stool also follows this purpose alone and is limited to the essentials: the frame inspired by the three-legged stool, a spindle, a seat - minimalism at its best. This example shows how the original workshop furniture can be transformed into an impressive, ultra-modern piece of home furniture with added interior design value: the spindle stool is made entirely from solid local oak, right down to its central element.

A spindle made of oak wood may come as a surprise at first, but oak wood is famous for being extremely hard, tough and durable. Even under water, it resists rotting for centuries. In short, not only many people and animals, but also this stool and its spindle are "strong as an oak", reliably lifting its user up and back down again and also conquering additional areas of use: Because thanks to the completely flat seat surface, it holds its own just as solidly as an adaptable side table. Whether you use it as a flexible seat or as a stable storage surface: The opulence of the material in the stool contrasts with the simplicity of the design in a visually exciting way, which fulfills its interior design function with lasting stability. Once you have chosen it, you won't be able to get rid of this spindle stool in a hurry. A handcrafted heirloom that moves between the poles of elegant restraint and strong character, proving its modernity over time.

Anyone who still thinks that traditional craftsmanship results in furniture à la Gelsenkirchen Baroque should turn their gaze to Riga. There, the company Mint Furniture, founded in 2009, stands for furniture design in which the tried and tested is taken up and further developed in form and function. This is the essence of innovation anyway, especially when it wants to stand out from the mass of supposed modernity in a visionary way. The team at Mint Furniture, which combines knowledge of fine art, interior design, industrial design and craftsmanship, has also achieved something astonishing: an individual design signature that is revealed in the fine details. With his spindle stool made of solid oak, co-founder Janis Rauza laid the foundation for the creative combination of formal tradition and functional modernity. Continuously expanded, the entire furniture collection from Mint Furniture follows this vision: expertly crafted by cabinetmakers, supported by a profound knowledge of the possibilities of the material and supported by the use of modern technologies, the designs point far into the future as pieces for generations.
