Baleri Italia Kin Counter Stool Designed by Radice Orlandini

The Kin stool by Baleri Italia, designed by Radice Orlandini, is a sophisticated system of upholstered chairs and stools, featuring a compact armrest and a frame made of epoxy powder-coated steel tubing.

The refined Kin stool boasts a flexible, cold-foamed polyurethane backrest that combines comfort and aesthetics with a non-removable cover, available in a variety of materials and colors. Black polyethylene feet ensure stability, while the overall design draws inspiration from the Japanese Kintsugi philosophy. In this vision, the concept of "fracture" is reinterpreted as added value, turning the apparent discontinuity of components into a surprisingly harmonious visual whole. The reduced armrests strike a balance between functionality and minimalism, allowing the piece to fit easily under the table without sacrificing essential support.

A tangible metaphor of elegance born from the union of opposites, the Kin stool reflects the essence of a design that integrates pragmatism with a touch of utopia. Its deliberately unstable balance and visual contrast are carefully crafted to emphasize the discontinuity of materials and finishes, transforming them into a true artistic expression. Suitable for various environments, from living areas to modern dining rooms.
