Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Designed by Parisian designer Patrick Jouin for Belgian Materialise. Featured at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Push lightly down on the center handle and the piece untwists into its functional form. One shot .mgx was purchased for the MoMA in NYC collection.

In 1991 Philippe Starck designed a fantasy office environment for German film director Wim Wenders (look here for Wim Wenders’ official site). One element of this environment, the WW Stool, is now in production in small series by Vitra. The filigrain design is more a sculpture that it can be used as a stool. It may serve as support for users who prefer to stand rather than an item of furniture intended to be purely functional.
Material: varnished sand-cast aluminum.
Dutch designer Gerard de Hoop of Dutch Design partnership Huting & De Hoop has baptized this seat as Stick Stool, because you can stick a poster to it or wrap it in a poster or a piece of cloth. On their website the same chair is shown, decorated by a graffiti artist and baptized Graffiti Stool.
I doubt their use of the word stool is correct English as the English Chair Wiki says:
A chair is a piece of furniture for sitting, consisting of a seat, a back, and sometimes arm rests, commonly for use by one person. Chairs also often have four legs to support the seat raised above the floor. Without back and arm rests it is called a stool.
This seat has a back. so it is a chair and not a stool.
Making promotion for the Dutch Queen here is a nice extra.
