Saddle-Inspired Ergonomic Modern Stools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Raffaella Mangiarotti Designs the Dynamic Pepe Stool

— February 16, 2023 — Art & Design
Raffaella Mangiarotti designs the new Pepe Stool for Opinion Ciatti and it is made with ergonomics and function in mind. In terms of the visual look of the stool, it is inspired by horse-riding saddles -- this is highlighted by the structure and the ergonomics.

The Italian brand unveils the stool and notes the playful twist on saddle stools, which are notably practical when it comes to promoting good posture and strengthening the core naturally as there is no back support. This shape forces the body to tilt the pelvis forward. Speaking about the new seating solution, the company notes that “Pepe is boundless expanses and infinite horizons. Pepe is the Argentine Pampas, a scent carried by the wind, an airy sky.”
