Echape: Contemporary Stool Design

Combining Elegance and Functionality

What sets Echape apart from other stools is its high aesthetic, sculptural, and tactile value. Crafted with solid wood using specialized machinery and expert craftsmanship, each stool is a work of art. The piece is finished with a matte oil water-based varnish, enhancing its natural beauty and ensuring its longevity.

Echape is available in three different heights to suit various needs. The high stool measures 370mm in diameter and 760mm in height, while the counter stool has the same diameter but stands at 660mm. For those seeking a lower seating option, the low stool measures 320mm in diameter and 430mm in height.

One of the design team's goals was to create a stool that not only serves a functional purpose but also sparks conversation. Echape's elegant and intriguing design accomplishes just that. Its unique form and attention to detail make it a talking point, breaking the ice and adding a touch of elegance to any social gathering.

The development of Echape began in January 2014 in Barcelona, where the designers conducted extensive research into the uses, needs, and necessities of stools in modern environments. Months of careful planning and collaboration led to the birth of this exceptional design.

Throughout the design process, the team focused on using organic materials and clean technologies to bring natural textures and materials closer to the human body. This commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices is evident in the final product.

Creating Echape presented its fair share of challenges. Balancing the emotional and visual story with technological constraints was a difficult task for the external design team at Thelos. However, their dedication and expertise resulted in an elegant and visually pleasing object that seamlessly blends form and function.

Echape's exceptional design has not gone unnoticed. In 2014, it was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious accolade recognizes the outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill demonstrated by the design. Echape's strong technical characteristics and remarkable level of excellence evoke positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
