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.
About Paul Coenen
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.
With each project, Coenen works to unearth the possibilities and limitations of his chosen materials, letting them guide and shape the outcome. The final form of each object is a direct consequence of the materials used and the techniques applied, not of pre-conceived design intentions. This gives his pieces a material authenticity that places them firmly within the Dutch experimental design tradition, where Eindhoven's culture has long nurtured makers who put investigation before convention.
His Section collection, exclusive to Monde Singulier, brings this philosophy into sharp focus. The formal language is spare: repetition, proportion, and the logic of industrial process made visible. Pieces such as the Section Bench, two U-shaped concrete volumes joined at center, and the Section Large Mirror, with its understated metallic frame and subtle double-edge detailing, arrive at their forms through the process itself. Function is present but never announced.
Coenen belongs to a generation of emerging Dutch designers whose collectible work earns its authority through the integrity of its making, not through decoration.
