Stabellenbank by Studio Seitz. Stability in this generation and for many more to come.

If a product is durable, beautiful, and classic in the sense that it never goes out of style, this goes a long way towards achieving sustainability.

Stabellenbank Detail.

The ethos builds on generations of Swiss makers and a tradition of artisanal craft: “heirloom-quality furniture, passed down through generations, is a foundation for our design.”
