The Milo stool is a study in minimalism, material honesty, and precision craftsmanship. It was constructed using two 1-inch steel bar stock pieces, bent with a stock roller to create a continuous frame that serves as both the seat and legs. This choice emphasizes the structural and visual unity of the piece. To add stability and define the form, two 16-gauge sheet metal panels were plug welded to the frame, effectively bridging the space between the bars while highlighting the contrast between flat and curved surfaces.

After welding, each joint was meticulously ground down to enhancing the clean visual language of the design. The surface was then sanded and powder coated to build a consistent, smooth texture.

The result is a sculptural yet functional piece that reflects a balance between industrial process and thoughtful design, where every detail contributes to the stool’s quiet sophistication.
