Penisola is a series of three stools; 45 cm, 65 cm, or 80 cm, a single span of black or natural leather stretched across a powder coated steel structure. Sitting alone on this almost island you wouldn't guess at the size of what lies behind you: the mainland, where the crowd move to a hurried and excited beat. In front of you and in your peripheral vision is a clear and soft seascape. You get lost without even moving, floating upon soothing sounds that wash away the frenzy still at your back. But it calls to you, and you turn around to acknowledge it. That feeling of remoteness is only temporary. Penisola is simply the last stretch of a greater land mass. From a single central element the stools extend out like hands to bring everyone around together. They are best paired with Isola, a coffee table of similar composition.
