PLINT bar stool/bench/rocking bench Design Sandin & Bülow

With their characteristic, unique design and great flexibility, the Plint bar stool, bench and rocking bench have become Materia range classics. The bar stool has a narrow seat and is available in two different seat heights, while the bench and the rocking bench have wide seats and a low seat height. The softly shaped seat allows varied seating. When placed at a 900 mm high table, the wide bench and rocking bench help keep the body active. The rocking bench also introduces movement and is therefore excellent for activity-based meeting places. Plint now also comes in Colours by Materia (CbM*) as a standard lacquer with a finely structured surface finish, making the lacquer more durable. The wood details are FSC® certified. Plint has been part of Stockholm Nationalmuseum’s modern design collection since 2003.
