Selkaline Oy barstool design was part of design course task where the designer was given 6 weeks to design a barstool for this company. This barstool is viewed as a timeless design with its typical Scandinavian minimalist design. It is constructed only from aluminum and wood, thus, making the product eco-friendly (aluminum being 100% recyclable and wood being renewable). The seat part and footrest are made from the same material.

Tuvie has received “Selkaline Oy Barstool Design” project from our ‘Submit A Design‘ feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their design/concept for publication.
This project looks really nice, though it clearly requires some technical development.
I'd recommend a review of the fixation system, both in seat and footrest.
For the footrest: the screws are aligned with the axis, in time this may get fragile, making the footrest twist a little bit.
As for the seat: The wood bottom design should consider the flat steel plate used for fixation, to guarantee a practical and precise assembly of both materials.
I'm not sure about the aluminum use, maybe you'd require a very thick plate, as this material is known for being very flexible.
This is a very nice design, you should really go on with this project. I really appreciate your concern about eco friendly materials and minimalist purpose! Congrats!
