The Enkel Stool, identified by product number 17.002, is a refined example of modern urban furniture, meticulously designed by Filip Babiarz. Characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and compact footprint, this piece serves as a versatile seating solution for high-density public spaces. Measuring 22 cm in width, 83 cm in height, and 24 cm in depth, the stool is engineered to provide efficient utility without compromising spatial flow. Its slim profile makes it an ideal addition to bus stops, transit hubs, and narrow pedestrian walkways where space optimization is paramount. As a key element of the Enkel product line, the stool balances industrial durability with refined material finishes, ensuring seamless integration into contemporary city landscapes.
Durability and structural integrity are central to the design of the Enkel Stool. The supporting framework is constructed from high-quality steel profiles, available in either carbon steel (S235JR) or stainless steel (AISI 304), providing a robust foundation that withstands the rigors of frequent public use. The seat is crafted from high-grade timber, with multiple options available to suit specific environmental requirements and aesthetic preferences: soft wood, oil-finished hard wood, hardwood of European origin, or premium hard wood. This combination of materials reflects ZANO’s commitment to producing resilient street furniture that maintains its structural and visual appeal over long-term deployment in outdoor environments.
Functionality and stability are further enhanced by a secure installation method, which requires the unit to be attached by bolts directly to a permanent foundation. Weighing 12 kg, the Enkel Stool provides a stable and reliable seating experience for commuters and pedestrians alike. Although categorized within our benches collection, its distinct silhouette and busstop stool functionality allow for unique urban planning applications, offering an alternative to traditional, wider seating arrangements. By prioritizing clean geometry and long-lasting materials, this product embodies the core principles of ZANO’s design philosophy, contributing to the development of coherent and accessible public infrastructure.
