Fontal

Fontal is an upholstered high barstool. Barstool with structure made of peeled and tinted natural rattan 28 mm/1” in diameter. Finished with a three step coating (dye, base coat and top coat) highly resistant to solar radiation thanks to UV filters. Seat upholstery in natural or faux leather, virgin wool fabrics, velvet and polypropylene. Stainless steel footrest. Protective caps with removable plastic-felt inserts. Available in two different sizes. Designed by Oscar Tusquets, Fontal’s look reminds us of a traditional chair that has been given a new appearance, yet it maintains lightness, warmth and charm. As its creator puts it “the project was born from the desire to take back rattan as a noble material, building on the rich tradition of craftsmanship in our country. To that end, I have tried to give this hundred-year-old technique a new look by substituting the traditional strutting and joint wrapping for a twinning technique which allowed connecting one reed to the next. Thanks to this innovative resource, I have created a flexible yet resistant structure that is so lightweight. The chair is light, warm, charming and luxurious in the true meaning of the word”.
