With its intuitive shape, the Vitra Hocker represents the fundamental aspects of the conceptual work of its designers, and serves as a tribute to their celebrated oeuvre. Available in both a rich dark brown and a vivid white, the Vitra Hocker Stool is a deceptively simple piece of ornamental furniture, with one side of the stool exposed, offering a satisfying reminder of the natural qualities of the solid birch wood employed in the making of the piece. It's nature fused with the contemporary in a highly simple, yet hugely affecting manner.
