Crocodile Stool
The Crocodile Chair and Stool are the first products to come out of PH + , a platform within Phantom Hands for experimental collaborations with designers and artists.
Felix Pfäffli, a Swiss Graphic Designer known for his bold forms, curvilinear lines, bolts of colour and unusual geometries, interprets the classic Chandigarh Low Cane Stool attributed to Pierre Jeanneret, 'as a graphic designer would'.
A zig-zag pattern runs through the legs of the stool creating distinctive edges that conjure images of bunting flags, a staircase or…. crocodile teeth. Closer inspection will reveal that there are no sharp edges, just gently-rounded curves.
The stool comes in a selection of two wood finishes and four fabric colour pairings for each of the wood finishes, all carefully composed by Felix. The upholstery colours are custom-developed by our fabric collaborator Zanav, through the traditional process of vat dyeing handspun yarn
