The Once Collection: Redefining Seating with Unique Design

A Fusion of Functionality and Aesthetics

At Dasein Products, designer Kristof De Bock has created The Once Collection, a stunning range of seating that combines functionality, comfort, and a unique design aesthetic. With its laser-cut metal construction and cowhide upholstered foam cushions, The Once Collection redefines what seating can be.

When it comes to chairs and stools, the challenge is to create a design that is not only strong, stable, and comfortable, but also visually striking. The Once Collection achieves this by using a single-legged chair design that splits into supports for the cushions. The metal construction provides strength and stability, while the cushions offer comfort and style.

One of the standout features of The Once Collection is the hinged backrests, which can adapt to the seated person. This innovative design ensures optimal support and comfort, making it a pleasure to sit in these chairs for extended periods of time.

The production process for The Once Collection involves laser-cutting and welding two forms of metal together. The result is a chair that is not only visually appealing but also durable and long-lasting. The cushions, made of foam on a wooden base, are covered with cowhide that has been sewn to size.

With a width of 50 cm, a depth of 40 cm, and a height of 110 cm for the barstool, and a height of 80 cm for the stool, The Once Collection is designed to fit seamlessly into any living space. Its unique design and high-quality materials make it a standout piece of furniture that will enhance any interior.

The Once Collection is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of Kristof De Bock and the team at Dasein Products. By pushing the boundaries of design and exploring new materials and production methods, they have created a collection of seating that is not only functional but also visually stunning.

Recognized for its excellence, The Once Collection was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2021. This prestigious award is given to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements while also providing fulfillment and positive feelings to users.

Experience the unique blend of form and function with The Once Collection. Whether you're looking for a stylish barstool or a comfortable stool, these chairs will elevate your living space and provide a seating experience like no other.
