Our inspiration comes from cross-vaulting. The structural functionality of an intersected vault is not only useful for spanning architectural elements, but also to support people. Here, the apron and the legs are combined into a single structural element, the vault. With this vault-structure, we were able to keep the form comparatively slender at the bottom while retaining the capacity to support heavy loads. The stools can be stacked the corners of the tabletop when not use, create the effect of a miniature vaulted corridor when arranged around the sides of the table. Stools can also be arranged alongside one another to create a bench.
