ACROBAT

ACROBAT is a stool designed for flexibility in public spaces. It can be used in multiple ways — as a seat, side table, or stacked for storage — and invites users to experiment with its simple geometry. Easy to build in a workshop setting, it is well-suited for collective making processes. The name reflects its character: like an acrobat, it is adaptable, dynamic, and balanced. Originally developed for the courtyard of the University of Art and Design Linz, ACROBAT combines functionality with playfulness in a communal context.

Typography

Derived from the stool’s distinctive form, a custom typeface was also developed. This font can be used in workshops for posters, signage, or other visual communication, further extending the identity of ACROBAT beyond the object itself.
