Ido Counter Stool
Made by Zanotta
Designed by Frank Rettenbacher in 2016, the Ido counter stool reflects a sensibility shaped by precision and quiet confidence. The silhouette is spare, yet the materiality carries considerable warmth: a frame in solid natural-painted oak or Canaletto walnut, finished with a satin stainless steel footrest that grounds the form without competing with the wood's natural character.
Rettenbacher, an Austrian designer known for his measured approach to furniture, brings a European craft tradition to a format often dominated by industrial aesthetics. Ido resists that tendency. The joinery is considered, the proportions deliberate, and the overall effect is one of calm authority rather than decoration.
