The 'Lowstack' and 'Highstack' chairs from design studio ALLT (short for 'All That') are interesting pieces of furniture that will give your home an industrial feel.
And while they may not be entirely comfortable, they definitely make up for it in uniqueness and cool design.

The [Lowstack and Highstack chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/same-same) are crafted using [unfinished spruce wood planks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collective-collection), which give the furnishings a unique, raw-looking quality. According to the designers, stacking unfinished wood planks reduces degradation and allows for better manipulation of the materials.

ALLT is a Slovakia-based design company founded by Peter Simonik and Elena Bolcekova. According to [Design East](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-flap-chair), the design duo is not simply interested in the process of creating but aim to design pieces that tell a story as well as provide a purpose.
