Ulmer Stehhilfe is a new interpretation of Max Bills “Ulmer Hocker” of 1954. A multifunctional piece of furniture whose original purpose was a stool (it was also used to be also shelf, side table, tray day so) gets transformed to be a one-person bar. Only by shifting the proportions, the strait geometry can fulfill new and modern requirements, while its simplicity in form and manufacturing process remains.This bar is initially designed to meet requirements within buisness applications in offices. It serves as a mobile podium; it supports their owners within meetings by providing a positive and flexible communication environment. It
can easily be transported within these environments and therefore becomes a personal “vehicle” throughout the everyday life. Also, the multifunctional attributes remain. It is a rack, a podium for lectures and bar table for discussions, a booth, a blotting pad day. Like the 54 version, the Bar is made out of spruce and beech whereas the heavily charges parts (the footrest which connects the two boards and the bottom parts of the legs) are made out of the more rigid beech wood.The parts are glued together; this bond is reinforced by finger joints.
The object has a height of 110 cm and it its top surface is 45 by 30 cm large which suits the size of an A3 sheet.
Shoes made from red beech.
