Joop Couwenberg

Young Dutch artist Joop Couwenberg was inspired by recyclable material and used it in his latest project: the cantilever stool, which he developed together with Tecta as a surprising combination of cork and steel. To make the tubular steel frame for Joop Couwenberg’s cantilever stool as lightweight and thin as possible, Tecta employed its hallmark patented “tube aplati” concept by Jean Prouvé. For this purpose the tubes of the frame are “flattened” to boost their stability and create an organic look that reveals the distribution of forces in the design. Thanks to constant demand, the flexible chair is now also available with fabric seats in a variety of colours.
