A minimal three-legged design, with a basic

triangular shape manufactured from extremely

durable glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene,

at first sight the Stakki chair stands out like no

other. With his innovative concept, designer

Martin Ballendat has created an iconic chair

which is both visually and functionally unique –

individual and absolutely unmistakable.

Stakki is extremely lightweight, easy to handle,

and versatile in use – practical for indoor and

outdoor use in educational environments and

cafeterias, as well as offices, hotels, or living

spaces. Designed with sustainability in mind,

the chair is made from a single part, and any

production surpluses are directly reused for the

manufacturing of new chairs – in line with VS’

rigorous environmental standards.

Stakki:

A new, iconic chair.

Design:

Martin Ballendat.

Designer Martin Ballendat and his studio have

worked for numerous international companies

and brands, designing furniture for residential

use as well as for the non-domestic and office

sectors. He has always been fascinated by the

function of chairs. In the case of Stakki, he has

provided an extreme example of the designer’s

art. He wanted to reduce the chair to an absolute

minimum. His vision: As little as conceivably

possible to provide the greatest possible

functionality. A chair that is full of freedom and

exceptionally versatile.

The result now stands firmly on its own three

feet. There is nothing superfluous in Stakki, but

with it, everything is possible. You can sit on it

from every side and the flexible back provides

comfortable support in any position. An unusual,

absolutely individual form – this is what an

innovative chair looks like.

The very distinctive appearance shines

through in the meticulous balance and

the care taken with every functional

detail.

feasibility is

a hallmark of

At the beginning there was the initial

idea – in the form of a sketch that was

gradually honed and perfected over

time.

Stakki:

Functionality and style.

Stakki is made from stable, durable, and

extremely scratch-resistant glass-fiber reinforced

polypropylene. This three-legged chair is

manufactured using multi-component injection

molding, coupled with an internal gas pressure

process. Even though it weighs less than 9

pounds, Stakki offers a very high level of stability.

Its basic triangular form permits space-saving

arrangements that leave the greatest possible

freedom of movement for the legs.

But what is the right way to sit on a chair with a

triangular seat surface? Whatever way you like!

Stakki permits a wide range of positions, whether

sitting towards the front, the side, the back, or at

an angle. Users can sit on Stakki from every side

and still enjoy the same ergonomic comfort. The

chair seat has a small surface, but it is exactly the

right amount to ensure all-round sitting comfort.

Triangular shape, flexible back, free

space for the legs: Users can sit on

Stakki in whatever way they want.

Good design must be absolutely

perfect: It is vital to be able to

rely on every functional detail.

Stakki:

Outstanding in every environment.

An innovative design idea is only the beginning.

The meticulous honing and balancing of the

functional details take us through all the various

development stages, right up to the prototype

stage. Stability is ensured by the non-slip

2-component universal glides that are gentle

to the floor and suitable for all commonly used

floor types. The stepped shape of the glides and

the concave leg profile make stacking easy and

ensure stability, while keeping the seat surfaces

protected. A maximum of ten chairs can be

stacked on top of one another.

Stakki is an attractive addition to any environment,

such as schools, universities, cafeterias, or in

private homes. In cafeterias, which can become

exceptionally busy at peak times, a small chair

frees up a lot of space.

Stakki has been comprehensively tested and

carries the GS “tested safety” label. It has been

certified for indoor and outdoor use, and has

scored top marks on the lightfastness test, which

evaluates the color-fastness of a material against

the influence of light.

chair can be used in various styled interiors and

character - both in form and color. In fact, Stakki

creates a very unique statement wherever it is

used.
