STOVE
Behold the seat
Three legs and a short backrest; what more does a chair need? Gabriel Tan has reinterpreted
the minimalistic character of Shaker furniture, and especially the unusual shape of the Shaker
wood-fired stove. The Stove chair provides comfort with its softened, convex seat and low back
rest, which provides just enough lumbar support. Use it wherever you like thanks to its reduced
form, or admire the finely crafted furniture icon hung from a peg rail or the included wall-mounted
peg. “The Shakers used to hang their stools upside down on the wall in order to make space,”
says Gabriel Tan. “I decided to hang it upright and display it like a sculpture.” Gabriel, who lives
in Singapore, was inspired by the Hancock Shaker Village in Massachusetts, where he was part
of an international workshop to design Shaker-inspired products with designers from all over the
world.
