N° 019
This is not a stool.
This is N° 019: a chair disguised as a stool. The chair is completely flat, until someone sits in it.
N° 019 is designed by Andreas Aas, a designer and architect who lives and works between Paris, France and Fredrikstad, Norway. Here’s what he says about the concept:
When not in use, the chair occupies minimal space – both physically and mentally. It is only when used that the chair takes on the more strenuous shape of the human body.
With this in mind, the N° 019 must be the ultimate chair for Über-minimalist interiors.

It might not be a stool, but it will sure function as a stool because no human actually sit like the guy on the photo does haha. Sitting relaxed in that angle and not getting lower back pain and strained abs will be a challenge without a full back piece supporting the upper part of your back.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the concept but I feel it could have been done smarter.
Hi Robert, you might be right! I know the designer, Andreas Aas, is watching this post so there’s a good chance he’ll read your comment. Thanks for your feedback!
I wonder how it would be if the front legs were shorter than the back legs.
