Named after the Danish word for ‘Wait’, the Vent stool was originally designed for museum-goers. A place to have a seat while allowing the impressions to sink in. Now, Vent has developed into a two-seater with the same minimalist expression, the same strong craftsmanship and the same sculptural feature. The woven seat is made in Denmark in collaboration with ‘Blindes Arbejde’, a sheltered workshop for people who are blind or partially sighted.

  • PROPER USAGE AND MAINTENANCE

    Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.

  • POWDER COATED STEEL

    Why
    Steel is a strong, timeless and malleable material – enabling designs with thin profiles and various patterns and shapes. The steel has received a decorative powder coating – a high-quality and dry finishing process that gives a stronger and more streamlined surface than conventional liquid paintings.

    Cleaning
    Use soapy water and a soft brush. Wipe off with a dry cloth. Note: Do not use abrasive pads or abrasive cleaning agents as this may harm the surface.

    Maintenance
    Although sturdy and resistant, powder coated steel is not invincible, be careful not to make scratches in the surface as it will make the material vulnerable to corrosion.

  • PAPER CORD

    Why
    Paper cord is a natural, long-lasting and comfortable type of material. The weaving is a time-consuming process carried out by hand – ensuring the best results and durability. Vent Stool is produced in collaboration with the Danish company “Blindes Arbejde” (Work by the blind) – a socio-economic business employing and empowering blind and visually impaired individuals.

    Cleaning
    Red wine, jam, fruit juice and other foods with strong colour may cause discolouring of paper cord if spilled. In case you stain the seat, we recommend to use a damp cloth to clean it off immediately after spilling. Make sure you don’t rub the liquid further into the paper; simply blot the stained area with the cloth. Do not apply harsh cleaners as it might harm the material unnecessarily.

    Maintenance
    Paper cord requires little to no maintenance due to its natural and strong features, but it is not totally unbeatable. New jeans and other strongly dyed textiles might discoulour the material.
    Over time, the paper cord will gradually take on a beautiful, darker patina.
