The NOOK stool is manufactured from one single piece of material: a folding pattern is CNC machined on the inner surface of a VarioLine® sheet; the stool is then folded into its distinct shape and the construction is fixed at the bottom with an aluminum bracket, eliminating the need for adhesives or welding. The striking design of the NOOK stool is achieved by the particular properties of the material and the interaction of tension and folding. Both the stool and the VarioLine® material are manufactured in Dresden, Germany.
