In 1963, Klaus Vogt designed the stackable three-legged stool in collaboration with Embru. His experiments with lightweight constructions made of steel, wood and plastic resulted in a piece of furniture that impresses with its clean lines, minimal use of materials and high functionality. Even back then, the stool was conceived as a versatile piece: as a seat, a small storage surface or a simple side table. With its simple, timeless design, it adapts to a wide variety of settings whilst always looking modern.
In 2015, the design was reissued and added to the Embru Classics collection. Since then, the stool has once again been winning people over with its lightness, stackable construction and freely combinable finishes. Whether in the living room, the office or public spaces – it offers flexibility without compromising on aesthetics. The three-legged stool is thus an example of how good design endures across generations and continues to regain relevance time and again.
The stool is still manufactured in Switzerland today – to the highest standards of quality, durability and craftsmanship. This ‘Made in Switzerland’ label stands not only for precision and reliability, but also for sustainable production and genuine craftsmanship. The three-legged stool thus combines tradition and modernity in a piece of furniture that will bring joy for many years to come.
