Normann Copenhagen Mat Barstool with Backrest - Metal Base Designed by Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen

Designed by Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen in 2024, the Mat Barstool with Backrest is a luxurious seating solution from Normann Copenhagen, showcasing a perfect blend of sustainability and contemporary design.

The Mat Barstool impresses with an innovative construction featuring a hemp shell, crafted using an environmentally-conscious compression process. This unique material composition includes 75% hemp fibers, with the remaining 25% comprised of a specially developed recyclable bico binder, ensuring a robust and sustainable build. The Seaweed variant takes eco-friendliness a step further by incorporating 69% hemp fibers, 6% eelgrass (seaweed), and 25% binder, highlighting the brand's commitment to green design.

Set on a sturdy metal base with four legs, the stool offers stability and durability, suitable for diverse environments, from stylish home bars to sophisticated commercial spaces. Although it is a fixed stool, the presence of a backrest ensures comfort, making it ideal for relaxed seating experiences. Available in various sizes, the Mat Barstool can seamlessly adapt to different spatial arrangements.

This remarkable piece has earned significant accolades, including the Product of the Year in the seating category at the Mix Awards 2024, the MetropolisLikes Award in the furniture category, and the Green Idea of the Year at Bo Bedre’s Design Awards, 2024. Its ability to fuse aesthetic appeal with sustainable materials presents an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance their interiors with innovative and eco-conscious furniture.
