The Terna Stool is a new prototype that strips a caf\u00e9 stool down to three essential parts: a round seat and two matching legs. It is able to create a lightweight, portable perch for short stops in bustling city spaces. Its circular seat lets users sit facing any direction, while a cut\u2011through handle in the centre provides an instant grip for picking up and moving the stool\u202f.<\/p>\n

Designed by industrial designer Joe\u202fSlatter, the prototype was fabricated in London using CNC machining on solid European beech. The stool is dry\u2011assembled with minimal fixings and magnets, allowing it to be quickly assembled or disassembled without tools\u202f. Future production will shift to a steam\u2011bent process for the legs, echoing the mid\u2011century tradition of bentwood caf\u00e9 furniture while keeping the design\u2019s ultra\u2011simple aesthetic\u202f.<\/p>\n

With its circular seat and two identical legs, the Terna Stool is crafted from solid European beech and dry\u2011assembled with magnets and minimal fixings for easy disassembly. Its 360\u2011degree seat allows users to face any direction, while a cut\u2011through handle at the centre provides a quick grip for lifting and repositioning. They nticipate future production using steam\u2011bent leg construction that references the tradition of bent\u2011wood furniture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Terna Stool debuted as part of Design Everything\u2019s \u201cA Seat At The Table\u201d exhibition, a traveling showcase that places seats in active community settings rather than on static plinths. Each day the exhibition moves in a Luton van to different design districts across London, hosting talks, workshops and round\u2011circle debates. Within this mobile context, the stool reflects caf\u00e9 culture\u2019s emphasis on quick exchanges, brief perches and easy movement through the city.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Joe\u202fSlatter describes the piece as \u201ca study in utility,\u201d noting that it is meant to be lifted, positioned, used for a brief perch and then left behind as the user continues on\u202f. The design\u2019s simplicity is intentional: by reducing the stool to three components, it becomes a tool for conversation and collaboration rather than a decorative object\u202f. The prototype was made by maker James\u202fTrundle, who executed the CNC machining in London\u2019s workshop\u202f. Photography by Guy\u202fLockwood captures the stool\u2019s clean lines and the way it integrates into the exhibition\u2019s interactive settings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

By combining modern digital fabrication with a nod to traditional bentwood techniques, the Terna Stool illustrates how minimalist design can serve both functional and social purposes. Its lightweight construction, 360\u2011degree seating and easy\u2011carry handle make it ideal for the transient nature of urban caf\u00e9s and pop\u2011up community events. While still a one\u2011off prototype, the design points toward a future where small\u2011scale, sustainably produced furniture can adapt to ever\u2011changing public spaces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
