The malta stool functions as both seating and side table, a classification the form itself leaves open. Part of the SOFT SOLID collection by studioutte, its body is built from simple intersecting lines that produce a Greek cross in section, a shape with roots in Italian vernacular cabinetry of the 19th century. A continuous shadow gap is carved along the vertical elements, animating the form with a thin line of shadow that deepens as light rakes across it. The proportions are strict, the geometry unrelenting, yet the piece never feels cold.

This version is presented in blonde burl wood with a glossy finish, developed exclusively for Monde Singulier. The material's natural figuring, where grain swirls and color shifts across each face, plays against the rigid cross-section. studioutte works with craftsmen in Padova for wood production, and the finish here reflects that collaborative precision.

The SOFT SOLID collection draws on warm minimalism as its guiding principle, and malta occupies that territory with particular honesty: a functional form shaped by reference to architecture rather than decoration. Produced in limited edition.

About
Studioutte

Established in 2020, studioutte is a Milan-based multidisciplinary practice for architecture, interiors and collectible design. The name draws from the German hütte, meaning hut or shelter, a word that carries the spirit of the studio's approach.

Guglielmo Giagnotti and Patrizio Gola founded studioutte around a shared philosophy of warm minimalism: a pursuit of purity through vernacular forms, primitive essence, and poetic restraint. Furniture is conceived as small architectural objects. Their pieces are made from solid wood, raw metal, and occasional polyester lacquer, materials valued for the patina and imperfections that develop with time and use. Production is entirely handcrafted in collaboration with Italian artisans in Padova, Milan, and the wider Lombard region.

Giagnotti studied at the Polytechnic of Bari before joining Studio Librizzi in Milan. In Ghent, he worked alongside Robbrecht en Daem and Dierendonckblancke on public competitions, before a long engagement at Vincent Van Duysen in Antwerp, where he specialized in luxury interiors. Gola trained in interior design at the Politecnico di Milano, worked on retail and set-up projects at DWA, then joined Dimorestudio in 2017 for large-scale hospitality, retail, and residential commissions.

Since founding the studio, Giagnotti and Gola have produced interior architecture and limited-edition collectibles across Europe and New York. The Rootine Wellness Club in Munich (2021), the Industrialism Exhibition at the Urban Zen Center in New York (2022), and the Sala d'Attesa installation at the 2024 Milan Design Week stand among their key projects. The Ert Chair and a dedicated collection for Nilufar Gallery have placed their work in the collectible design conversation. Studioutte was included in the AD 100 list in 2024.

Their collectible editions are available through Monde Singulier.
