Price
In 1969, man landed on the moon in the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module). In 2000, as the new millennium began, the LEM stool was introduced and quickly became a hallmark of Lapalma's aesthetic. Similar in its weightlessness and lack of gravitational pull, the stool's design forms a strong connection with its surroundings. Just like the spacecraft, which couldn't carry any unnecessary burdens, this chair effortlessly integrated all necessary functions into a sleek and minimalist silhouette. Only the most crucial elements remained, leaving behind everything else on solid ground. The LEM bar stool, created by Shin & Tomoko Azumi in 1999 for Lapalma, is truly a timeless piece in the world of bar seats. It has a fixed foundation, and is perfect for sophisticated, energetic, and urban settings, allowing for a uniquely personalized look. It features a subtly bent wooden seat and a metal rail for users to comfortably place their feet. The adjustable seat height is between 66-79cm. Max total height is 86cm. The item shows little abrasion on the lower metal parts.
