lapo germasi and victor pukhov of italian studio MID are driven by the constantly changing relationship between humans and objects.
their latest design, the ‘axel stool’, is an exploration in functional
and emotional correlation. the stool is reminiscent of the past, and the
materials that allow its creation, but with concepts focused on the
future of design and interaction. natural ash wood is blended with the unbreakable industrial feeling of metal, held by a single driven wedge. ‘axel’ draws its visual language from traditional working tools–including the one needed to put it together–instilling through its simple gestures, a deeper connection between users and artifact. the stool will be exhibited at ventura lambrate during milan design week 2015.
