Hornbill Stool
by Localarchitecture
Hornbill Stool
This unique stool echoes the world of ornithology. It was designed by the architects, to welcome visitors to a bird watching pavilion. These stackable seats are integrated into the playful and educational sensibility of the place. Its forms play with the static, the obvious and the curved, evoking the beak of a bird or its spread wings.
The stacked form becomes a sculpture in space, recalling the bark of a trunk or the scales of a pine cone.
At the end of the table for the surprise guest, as a bedside table for a novel or as a totem of several stacked units, the stool remains an essential of contemporary furniture.

Advice and information
European wood species
All our wood from Europe is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or HVH (Holz von Hier) and is selected according to three criteria: sustainable forest management, the distance between cutting and processing into panels and the absence of additives.
Swiss wood species
To compensate for the current lack of industrial processing of Swiss wood into panels, we have activated a local production network.
We can already offer you part of our catalog in oak and walnut from the Fribourg region.
Wood treatment
Our wooden furniture is hand-sanded and offered oiled. You can also buy a kit from the craftsman and do it yourself. The selected oil is made of natural raw materials only and meets the most demanding EN 71/T3 standards.
The designer of your furniture
The architects Manuel Bieler, Antoine Robert-Grandpierre and Laurent Saurer develop with their agency Localarchitecture a writing attached to the context and the environment, capable of revealing a powerful relationship between the form and its environment. Beyond the norms, they strive to give their projects an immutable and silent presence.
Among their remarkable achievements: the chapel for the deaconesses of Saint-Loup in 2008, the Swiss embassy in Côte d'Ivoire in 2015, the Neoapostolic church in Lausanne and the Rudolf-Steiner school in Geneva Confignon in 2019. Winners of the Best Architects Awards in 2015 and 2019, as well as the International Wood Architecture Award in 2019, all three also teach (EPFL, Ensa Strasbourg).
