“I like to find a clever and efficient way of putting something together”
–––– Sylvain Willenz, on his reductionist design approach 

Working with Belgian designer Sylvain Willenz, Zilio A&C is please to introduce UPON bar stool this September.  

A sibling to the UPON chair which was launched in 2020, the bar stool also carries the same simple, yet friendly form, and a smart hidden joint detail that makes the backrest appear to magically float above the tubular metal frame. 

Just like the chair, it is suited for stacking, too. UPON’s form-pressed veneer backrest tapers out to just a 6mm edge, combining minimal looks, comfort and strength.

UPON chair and stool were designed and conceived to be versatile seatings for all settings: the home, office, or café. The seat is available with or without upholstery.
