The three-legged stool was designed for the hotel K5 Tokyo and its basement beer hall by Brooklyn Brewery. In three heights – small (very low), medium (normal), high (bar). In the basement beer hall are Shaker-inspired peg racks to hang jackets or the three-legged stools, hence two of the legs were connected with a foot-rest bar to hang upside down over the pegs. The medium stool is used throughout the floor of the beer hall and the high stool along its 19-metre long bar counter. The small stool equals the size used at traditional Japanese Onsen baths to sit while washing and scrubbing yourself before entering the bathtubs. At the hotel K5 a pair of the small stools are used in each guestroom as bedside tables.
Claesson Koivisto Rune is a Swedish architecture and design studio founded in 1995 by Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto, and Ola Rune.
