Short description:

In the Kočevska forest, river stones lean into one another, holding their silence
through nothing more than balance. Equilibra translates this quiet negotiation
into timber—a functional, scalable chair that embodies a fleeting moment of
natural equilibrium and the weight of stillness. Its three sculptural legs
follow the logic of stone stacking—each distinct in geometry, yet stabilizing
one another through balance. Beneath their organic form lies an embedded
structural frame: a concealed system that anchors the modules together, while
complementary arc-shaped joints guide contact. This hybrid strategy—frame and
form in dialogue—ensures strength, stability, and ease of disassembly, enabling
flat-pack production and transport. Crafted from local European beech, the
chair’s parts are CNC-milled from solid stock to minimize waste and streamline
fabrication. A final oil-wax finish preserves the timber’s tone, protects
against wear and moisture, and keeps the warmth of the forest within the wood.
Every decision—form, joinery, finish—rests on the tension between apparent
fragility and engineered certainty. What seems precarious is, in fact, resolved.
What feels organic is also optimized for production. Equilibra is less an
object than a totem: a fragment of forest balance carried into human use. It
speaks of interdependence—between material and maker, stone and river, self and
society. To sit upon it is to rest within a balance both natural and cultural,
timeless and shared.
