Beyond its traditional function, the bar stool has gained significant relevance in contemporary living and working environments. It is now a staple in modern kitchens, a ubiquitous feature across countless trade fair stands, a prominent element in retail design, and a key component in bistros and system catering. Today, the bar stool serves as an ideal solution for standing workstations, brief rest periods, or engaging in conversations at eye level. The objective of this semester's project is to design a modern bar stool tailored specifically to meet the unique demands of trade fair settings.

  The concept for my design, the bar stool Streamline, draws inspiration from Raymond Loewy’s principles of streamlined form. The extruded aluminum profiles embody a sense of dynamism through their foundational shape while simultaneously conveying durability and robustness—an ideal response to the practical demands of trade fair applications. The stool’s stackable design allows for efficient transportation and space-saving storage, making it highly functional for dynamic environments. Additionally, the injection-molded seat seamlessly integrates with the frame of the legs through a form-fit connection, ensuring structural stability and aesthetic coherence.
