The story

The Section Stool is a low-profile seat in matte light grey metal, its rectangular top and three vertical supports formed from a single bent sheet, with a subtle accent strip across the top surface, designed by Paul Coenen for the Section collection.

The form is as economical as it gets. A single sheet of metal folded into a top plane and three downward-facing supports gives the stool its structure, with no visible joints in the finished piece. The accent strip on the top surface, slightly lighter in tone, marks the horizontal plane without interrupting it. The silhouette, clean and low, does not commit to a single function.

Matte light grey throughout. The monochromatic palette and the absence of added fasteners or decorative details keep the stool within the material logic of the Section series. The bent-sheet construction is the method made visible: Coenen's interest in what a single material can do with minimal intervention.

The Section Stool is part of the Section collection, available at Monde Singulier. The collection developed from Paul Coenen's practice of letting material and process determine form; this piece carries that logic to its most compressed expression.

Paul Coenen (b. 1992) is a designer based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, whose work embodies an experimental, hands-on approach rooted in a deep fascination with materials and the interplay between modern and traditional manufacturing techniques.
